Billie the Octopus Children's Book
Another children's book written by my daughter @lotuskay:
Billie the Octopus’ Book Encourages Young Ones to Care About What’s Under the Sea
The children’s book “Billie the Octopus” invites young ones to explore the wonders of the oceans, become aware of the threats to it, and how they can help make a difference in a watery world that covers 97% of the earth’s livable habitat. Written by youth author Lotus Kay to educate kids about the beauty and importance of the ocean and protecting fish and marine life, Billie the Octopus is part of the Bears for Cares book series and initiative to educate young people to care for and protect the environment and create a more compassionate world.
“Billie the Octopus" is told in rhyme through the eyes of “Billie” the octopus with colorful images and scenes that show a beautiful world beneath the sea that is in danger from humans. The back pages present a variety of Ocean and Plastic Facts and presents a vegan message by discouraging people from eating fish and other behavior that harm marine life.
The book is part of the Bears for Cares initiative and book series, a project of The Jane Goodall Institute’s Roots and Shoots initiative, a youth service program, and a portion of proceeds from the books and toys go to The Jane Goodall Institute and the Roots & Shoots program.
