Everyone Wants an Octopus Book! is a thought-provoking picture book about how everyone deserves to see themselves in books.

Inky the octopus wants to read a book with a character that looks like them. With their best friend, Quack the duck, they scour every shelf, but all they seem to find are more books about ducks! Why aren't there any stories with octopuses? They decide maybe it’s time for one.

'... simple conversational text and beachy visuals belie a bigger point about the way books (and bonds) help readers feel seen and understood.' – Publishers Weekly
