Octavio

Curious Octavio is not your average young octopus. Instead of staying hidden in his coral reef, his nosiness gets the better of him, and he pops out to observe the divers who are observing him!

Told in hilarious mockumentary style, this is the tale of Octavio and his octopus “superpowers”—including his talent for getting out of tight situations! Scuba diver and debut author illustrator Dustin Resch shares the charming story of a little octopus who hitches a ride on a diver’s tank and goes on an unexpected adventure.

Dustin Resch lives in Aurora, Colorado, with his wife and two dogs. His passion for visual storytelling led him to get a MFA in Children's Book Illustration from the Academy of Art University, and to start writing and illustrating picture books about the natural world. He is also a trivia fanatic and avid scuba diver. Octavio is his debut picture book.
