The Crab's Costume Party

Clack the cheerful crab lives in the sparkling blue sea, where his coral-red shell and friendly smile make him the natural host of the reef. One sunny morning he wears his blue bow tie and a purple party hat with yellow stars, then invites all the sea creatures to a costume party. Word bubbles through the water, and everyone starts planning outfits with excitement, from a small orange starfish preparing a pirate scarf to a gentle lavender octopus choosing her polka-dot hat and pearl shells.

One little shrimp stays hidden behind a rock, certain that the others will laugh at her because she has no costume. When a ribbon of green seaweed drifts past, a tiny idea begins to grow, and she twists it into something of her own. This gentle sea tale by Ebru Mina TOMURCUK follows her shy steps toward the party under the coral arch.
