"A love letter to moms everywhere and a reminder that you're enough, even if you don't have eight arms." --Kristen Bell, actress, parent, producer, and coauthor of the #1 New York Times bestseller The World Needs More Purple People

"Adorable and resonant for any busy mom." --Jodi Picoult, #1 New York Times bestselling author

When I wake up in the morning, the first things I see are Mommy's arms, open wide, to give a hug to me.

My Mommy the Octopus is the endearing story of a young child who has everything they want . . . except a mother with eight arms!

Take one mom with two arms, add a young child who dreams of a Mommy with more, and you have a captivating tale of fun! Like many moms, she juggles caring for her little one while working from home all at the same time.

My Mommy the Octopus is a heartwarming story told from the eyes of a child who dreams of a mother with more arms to play--but then decides two is the perfect number for hugs. With amusing, engaging copy written by Wendy Gerber and Nonnie Gerber and whimsical illustrations by Tori Davis, this charming story will keep you and your child smiling from beginning to end.

She wished she were an octopus so she could play with her children and build a successful career--at the same time!

She started her career as an international lawyer and lives in New York City. Wendy has three wonderful children, Alexander, Samantha and Jaxie, and an adorable grandson, Arlo. They are the inspiration for this book and the illustrations (Arlo's puppy, Millie, is too!). Learn more at www.WendyGerber.com
