About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is curious about how parents protect their little ones or when they are struggling with a transition that requires letting go. Through rhythmic, cumulative verse, the story follows a mother octopus as she meticulously builds a safe haven for her eggs, showcasing both her incredible intelligence as an ocean architect and her profound devotion to her offspring. While the book functions as a fascinating science lesson about marine biology, its heart lies in the themes of resilience and the natural cycle of life. It provides a gentle way to discuss how love can be shown through preparation and protection, even when the eventual goal is helping a child become independent. It is a beautiful choice for children aged 4 to 8 who appreciate the wonders of the natural world and the quiet strength of a mother's care.
