Fun story about learning to be brave. Knowing everyone is scared at times helps boost the confidence of a little octopus named Gus. He finds courage in helping some seal pups in danger.

This book is about being brave and pretending to be a superhero even when you’re scared. Good for encouraging confidence. Brilliant colours and illustrations used.
