Inhaltsangabe

Zuli the Octopus has eight wiggly arms, a curious mind, and a world full of sparkly distractions! When getting ready for a fun day at the reef turns into a tangled mess, Zuli discovers a simple secret: attention is like a flashlight - you can only shine it on ONE thing at a time.

Perfect for toddlers, preschoolers, and spirited little ones, this warm story shows kids that staying focused isn't about ignoring the sparkles; it's about choosing where to shine.
