Billie the Octopus : Eifrig Publishing : 9781632332363 : 1632332361 : 15 Dec 2019 : Billie the Octopus invites you to explore the wonders of the ocean, become aware of the threats to it, and how you can make a difference. Lotus wrote More Beautiful Than Heaven when she was 16 to raise awareness about the beauty of nature and the Earth, the endangered state of wildlife and our environment, and ultimately inspire children to care for and protect the planet and our fellow inhabitants. She then wrote Billie the Octopus to educate kids about the beauty and importance of the ocean and protecting fish and marine life. Both books have stuffed animals that are characters in the book that can be found at the Bears for Cares website: "Beary" (the polar bear in More Beautiful Than Heaven) and "Billie" (the octopus), which support the Roots & Shoots program.
