CRANFORD, NJ

Just in time for summer reading, author and singer/songwriter, Kat Rees D’Ambola, has released a new children’s picture book titled, “Deep Breaths, Octopus”.

This engaging story follows an anxious Octopus who could use some help with his big feelings. Thankfully his good friend, Whale, teaches him one of the best strategies for feeling better, practicing mindfulness!

“Deep Breaths, Octopus” is a gentle introduction to mindfulness and encourages kids to practice their own deep breaths along the way. Gorgeous ocean life illustrations by Toronto-based artist, Alana McCarthy, will delight young readers, and a Fun Facts page highlights the unique qualities of this fascinating sea creature!

This is Kat’s second picture book following her award-winning debut, “A Firefly’s Journey”. Kat also writes music for kids and her album, “Nature Soup”, is available to stream on all major platforms.

You can purchase “Deep Breaths, Octopus” through BookBaby Book Shop, link below, and use code “Summer2024” for 15% off until August 30th.
