The Adventures of Mr. Octagon: My First Journey Debuts on Amazon
Inspired by author's five-year-old son, the delightful book is the first in a planned series of four
ALISO VIEJO, Calif., Dec. 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Written by Parisa Ansari and Joseph Greywolf, and illustrated by Roslen Roy Mack, The Adventures of Mr. Octagon: My First Journey was released on Amazon on December 12. The book is the first in a four-part series, each of which will impart a valuable life lesson to preschoolers through an engaging narrative and fun activities.
Created for children ages 2 to 6, the whimsically illustrated 24-page book follows Mr. Octagon as he sets off from Shapeville to discover new lessons to share with his fellow shape friends. During his first learning adventure, he encounters a wise old stone who introduces him to the concept of "togetherness." This critical lesson for growing minds is illustrated by a group of stones whose song best reaches the clouds when they gather together and raise their voices in unison.
"Our book helps kids learn new ways of perceiving the world with gratitude, introspection and imagination," said Ansari, whose five-year-old son Sammy was the inspiration for her inaugural work. "It is designed to stimulate creativity while helping young children become more mindful about nature, animals and the Earth. It also provides interesting insight into the Native American culture and wisdom."
Following the eight-page story are fun activities to further engage young readers:
- 12 vocabulary words – Simple descriptions make new words easy to understand
- Hide & Seek Adventure – Children find Mr. Octagon and his shape friends in the fanciful forest
- Coloring page – Kids color in the page as they talk about their favorite songs
- Tips for Your Own Journey – Items for young adventurers to take along on their next journey
- Five journal pages – With wide spaces for writing down interesting things they see, hear, smell and taste
Sammy loved the octagon shape so much that Ansari had a doll handcrafted especially for him that he takes everywhere on his own adventures. Eventually she'd like to publish a picture alphabet book of all the exciting places that Mr. Octagon has been.
