    About this ebook

    This is a story about how a young octopus learns to control her ink by releasing it at the appropriate time and place. As with all the books in the Stories for Children and Their Adults series, this story is written in a delightful sing-song style and can be enjoyed by both children and adults alike. It can also be used as a tool to explore deeper issues. Specifically, this story deals with how to gain control over oneself by expression rather than repression.

      The Diana ’ I KNEW

      Jul 6, 2021

      For me, as I’m sure for many others, it seems almost impossible to imagine Diana, Princess of Wales, at the age of 60. Her image remains frozen in time, an elegant, glamorous 36-year-old global icon. She was someone who dominated my life for more th
