In this busy world, Octopus Alone shows children and grown-ups that it's okay to be by yourself in a safe and quiet place . . . and sometimes it's just what we need.
Divya Srinivasan (www.pupae.com) was born in Poughkeepsie, New York, but spent most of her childhood in California and then Texas. A talented animator, she has worked on films, music videos, and TV shows. Her first book was Little Owl's Night.
Praise for Divya's first book, LITTLE OWL’S NIGHT:
"This debut picture book gets it all just right. The story, while
familiar, is executed deftly and with heart, and the crisp graphic
elements of the artwork juxtapose well against the pretty
prose." —Booklist, starred review
"The story's chief virtue is its graceful, balletic prose... It's a
provocative inversion of the classic bedtime story, and a solid
first outing. Srinivasan's message is that night is a delightful
place, and that's useful knowledge for small
children." —Publisher's Weekly
"A graceful bedtime story celebrates the beauty found in night...
Hold on to Little Owl's tail feathers and soar." —Kirkus
Reviews
"This exceptional first book by Srinivasan, a talented
illustrator... follows Little Owl during his nighttime
explorations... this bedtime tale may even convert children who are
afraid of the dark into adventuresome night owls" —New York
Times Book Review
"This is the most visually and verbally gorgeous picture book of
the year... Simple, dazzling - and simply dazzling." —The
Boston Globe
Praise for OCTOPUS ALONE:
"Srinivasan follows her debut, Little Owl’s Night (2011),
with a similarly striking rendition of the marine world in this
no-place-like-home tale." —Kirkus
"...every page is stunner." —Publishers Weekly
"a visually appealing story " —School Library Journal
“Srinivasan, an animator and the author of the luminous “Little
Owl’s Night” (2011), brings the same distinctive beauty to this
story of a glowy orange octopus, ‘hidden in her cozy cave.’” —New
York Times Book Review
