Description
From a New York Times best-selling author comes this poignant, lyrical tale about nature's great escape artist - perfect for fans of the Oscar-winning documentary film My Octopus Teacher.
The octopus is happy in his undersea cave until one day, a diver captures him and takes him to live in an aquarium. The humans give him food and tests that look like toys. But every day is the same, and the octopus soon tires of captive life. And so, under the cover of darkness, he makes his daring escape....
Maile Meloy and Felicita Sala bring us a story full of excitement and heart, about the thrill of hard-won freedom and the pull of home.
Ce que les critiques en disent
An Indie best seller
“This is a beautifully illustrated picture book that manages to be lighthearted and fun whilst also exploring the negative implications of keeping animals - especially animals caught in the wild - in captivity.” (GeekMom)
“Readers will get a great glimpse into the capabilities of the wonderfully brainy octopus in this sweet meditation on the tradeoffs between living in safe comfort and making your own way in the world.” (Booklist)
“This satisfying home-away-home narrative imagines life from an octopus’s perspective.... Offers an opportunity for conversation with young readers about the roles of zoos and aquariums.” (Kirkus Reviews)
