The idea of pushing outside one’s comfort zone and taking a risk in order to attain success is not a new idea yet it feels new when you read Grasper.  To start with, the pictures in this book are absolutely amazing.  The underwater world is captured in colorful detail.

The main character of this book is Grasper who is a young crab who is experiencing molting.  After breaking out of his shell, he explores beyond his small familiar world and is amazed by the possibilities that lay beyond his old tide pool.  He comes back to his old home to share what he has learned with the other crabs.

Inspiring and encouraging…
