Coral has big dreams about grand adventures—but it’s hard to go after these big dreams when you’re the smallest in the class and feel completely invisible. During a school trip to the aquarium, Coral finds a kindred spirit in Kraken, a small octopus who knows that being invisible isn’t always a bad thing.

When Coral finds herself in the aquarium after everyone else goes home, she learns that being seen isn’t always about how big you are.

DIAL BOOKS FOR YOUNG READERS | PENGUIN RANDOM HOUSE
“Yulo distills a difficult, relatable concept—even the small and seemingly unseen have a light to shine— into a digestible story for young readers. The illustrations deftly use background color to distinguish between the white expanse of the aquarium and the solid black darkness of Kraken’s habitat . . . Concise and effective storytelling brings the invisible to light.” — Kirkus
