Little Crab faces the daunting ocean. Will courage lead to discovery?
Little Crab and Very Big Crab leave their rock pool for the vast ocean. Excitement turns to fear as Little Crab hesitates at the waves' edge. Can a gentle reassurance help them dive into the unknown and uncover new wonders? This colorful tale explores the courage needed to embrace new experiences.
From the award-winning creator of Shh! We Have a Plan comes a vibrantly colorful story about mustering the courage to try something new.
Little Crab and Very Big Crab live in a tiny rock pool near the sea. Today they’re going for a dip in the big ocean. “This is going to be so great,” says Little Crab, splish-splashing and squelch-squelching along, all the way to the very edge. Then comes a first glance down at the waves. WHOOSH! Maybe it’s better if they don’t go in? With vivid colors, bold shapes, and his trademark visual humor, Chris Haughton shows that sometimes a gentle “don’t worry, I’m here” can keep tentative little crabs sidestepping ahead – and help them discover the brilliant worlds that await when they take the plunge.
