Ockie Octopus feels sad and lonely when no one in the Ocean wants to play with him. In order to attract friends, Ockie devises a brilliant plan to change his color and shape so he will look
like other sea creatures. Unfortunately, Ockie's plan backfires and the other sea creatures run away and hide from him. Ockie meets a wise old Turtle called Terry, who tells Ockie that he was
born to be an Octopus, and that he has a job to do that only an Octopus can do. Ockie must first learn to love himself. What will Ockie discover when he takes Terry's advice? How will the other
sea creatures react? What changes are in store for Ockie? Beautifully illustrated and fun to read, Ockie Octopus Learns to Love Himself will entertain and delight children, while teaching an
important lesson about self respect and lovingly embracing who you are. Ockie E-Workbook: An Ockie E-Workbook for educators accompanies the story of Ockie Octopus Learns to Love Himself, and is
available for immediate download from the publishers at http://sbpra.com/padafabooks. The Ockie E-Workbook contains creative, flexible suggestions to cover four weekly programs. Each program is
supported with delightful crafts, coloring, experiments, indoor/outdoor activities, facts about ocean creatures and their environment - and much more!
