about the book

This book is about an octopus that has a dream to play in a band of his own.After a tragic event, he is met upon by an old sea snail that guides and encourages the octopus to follow his golden trail as he takes him on a journey to fulfil his hopes and dreams. The trail represents the journey of life and the snail represents his mentor or guardian angel.A fun approach to help educate children to follow their dreams and not to give up on what they truly desire, no matter what obstacles may come their way, as life takes them on a journey of ups and downs. It also indicates the forming of friendship and relationships that are made along their life’s journey, while working together as a team.Life is just a journey!
