"Charming, witty and beautifully illustrated, this delightful rhyming story carries

an important message about being true to yourself.”

Sarah Campbell, Founder, Parrot Street Book Club.

With 8 gangly arms, 3 hearts and blue blood,

there’s no-one like Mimi in this neighbourhood.

 

Mimi loathes being the only octopus in town and just wants to be ‘normal’. She spends her days in disguise, but soon discovers it’s hard to make friends when you’re always pretending to be someone you’re not.

 

Can Mimi dare to be different?

Will she learn to love herself, tentacles and all?

Or will she live her whole life in the shadows, destined to hide forever?
