This story is about an unlikely friendship between a dragon and an octopus.
The dragon is lonely and fearful, while the octopus is stuck and seeking adventure.
Through their story, they show us the power of friendship and embracing difference. With openness and vulnerability, they are able to face fears, overcome adversity and revel in adventure.
This is a book about togetherness. It hopes to inspire children to believe in themselves, value others and find their place in a world of unique and wondrous creatures.
The story behind the story
This book was not created by me, but my community of friends.
Friends who gave me inspiration, honesty, encouragement and time.
I’m thankful I didn’t have more confidence in myself; if I did, I would have been less likely to involve my community so intricately in the making of this book. If I hadn’t had to face my fears, I doubt I would have been able to create the characters as they are.
I hope this book has something for everyone.
