The boy and the octopus

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.
