I, Octopussy: An Illustrated Book About the Human World Through the Eyes of a Wise Cephalopod

The book's main character, a wise octopus, has long been familiar with the human world: over many centuries, a whole museum of human inventions has formed on the seabed. Office chairs, vacuum cleaners, mobile phones, fishing nets, magazines and credit cards - all this arouses her interest. The octopus dreams of getting to know people better and unraveling all the mysteries of the human species. Going to a concert. Trying avocado toast. And, most importantly, understanding what true friendship is.
