About the Book
Full of heart, friendship, and important lessons about empathy and kindness. Oscar the Oyster is a perfect book to share with kids who are ready to come out of their own “shells” and learn to appreciate what makes them special.

Oscar the Oyster can’t swim through the open sea like a shark or fly over the water like a seagull. In fact, he can’t move at all—he is stuck to a rock in a tide pool. He had always been happy and proud of the home he’d made there for himself until one day a mean hermit crab mocks him and he begins to feel less confident and starts to worry about what other creatures think of him.
​
Luckily for Oscar, he meets a couple of new friends who remind him that it’s what’s inside that counts. Samantha the sea snail and Stanley the starfish both have their own limitations, but together they discover that treasure isn’t something you find buried at the bottom of the ocean; the real treasure is found in the love they have for themselves and each other. ​
