An empowering picture book about creativity, making mistakes, and changing your perspective



When Arlo decides to draw an octopus, he can’t help but think that
maybe he’s just not an octopus drawer. His drawing has a head that looks
like a hill and eight squiggly arms that look like roads. It’s an
octopus disaster-piece! But just as Arlo vows to never draw an
octopus again, he makes a discovery that changes his perspective about
his drawing . . . and much more.

This endearing and relatable story
gives readers of all ages a gentle reminder that we’re better than we
may think. Sometimes all it takes is a second look.
