Ockie Octopus Learns to Love Himself - Before You Can Love Others, You Must First Love Yourself!

Jan. 13, 2012 - PRLog -- Take it from a sad and lonely octopus named Ockie – self-respect means embracing who you are – even if it’s with eight arms!

Ockie Octopus feels sad and lonely when no one in the ocean wants to play with him. To attract friends, Ockie changes his color and shape so he will look like the other sea creatures. Unfortunately, Ockie’s plan backfires and the others just swim away and hide from him. So what new plan could Ockie possibly have up his eight sleeves? Read the charming children’s book Ockie Octopus Learns to Love Himself and you’ll find out.

When Ockie meets Terry, a wise old sea turtle, Terry tells Ockie that we are all here for a special reason and advises Ockie to just be himself. Will Ockie take his advice? This lovingly illustrated story teaches us all some lessons about empowerment and about embracing who we really are.

An Ockie E-Workbook for educators accompanies the story and is available online at http://sbpra.com/padafabooks. The workbook features four weekly programs with crafts, experiments, indoor/outdoor activities, and facts about ocean creatures and their environment.
