The Little Crab Finds a Friend Synopsis:
Let's face it, leaving home for the unknown is scary. It's scary if you're six and facing the first day of school or if you're thirty six and facing the first day at a new job. Leaving home for the first time is also scary if you're a Little Crab who has never ventured far from his Dear Mom's side which is where we begin our story. The Little Crab lives al
one with his Dear Mom in a sunken submarine. Dear Mom homeschools her Little Crab and teaches him all she knows while showering him with love each day. Not the Little Crab, never. He refuses. Yet, we often don't have a say when life decides to shift and change. When Dear Mom falls ill the Little Crab ventures out of the submarine to help but is swept up in a freight boat's net and taken far, far away from all he has ever known. Determined to get home, he soon learns that he cannot make it in this world all on his own. The Little Crab Finds a Friend is the first in a series of books chronicling the Little Crab's encounter with twelve very different friends on his journey home. Each friend is characterized by one of the twelve signs of the zodiac. Using this familiar archetype of astrology or birthdays, the Little Crab interacts with twelve very different personalities learning a valuable lesson from each one. Written by David Bensimon
