A magical tale of finding your voice and becoming yourself.


Stanley loves his octopus toy, and dreams of the magical way its skin changes colour; how it hides itself when something scary comes along. In fact, sometimes Stanley wants to be like his octopus and disappear.


But Stanley learns how to share his feelings in more than words, and to face difficulties through the power of self-expression and creativity.


A lyrical and emotional story about overcoming bullies and being proud to be seen by the creators of The Boy Who Dreamed Dragons.
