The Octopus and The Moon Dawn Marion Hudgins

When an octopus, who has spent his whole life in the dark, see's the moon, he loves the feeling of seeing the beautiful sites around him. He looks forward to seeing the moon every night, but is sad when it doesn't show. Vowing to never let the moon leave him again if it ever shows, he holds the moon so tightly that it dims and is no longer shining its light on the ocean's floor. Learning that holding too tightly can change the experience, he lets go and learns to love the moon from afar.
