About this campaign

Get your own #TeamOctopus t-shirt to remind yourself of your own inner strength -- and with each purchase, you'll also be covering the cost of a shirt for a kid who needs it.

Inspired by the novel THE BENEFITS OF BEING AN OCTOPUS, students and teachers across the country are taking the #TeamOctopus pledge and working to:
1) Recognize our superpowers.
2) Name our obstacles.
3) Speak up.
4) Team up.

For more information about THE BENEFITS OF BEING AN OCTOPUS, visit: http://annbradenbooks.com/books/

THE BENEFITS OF BEING AN OCTOPUS is set in a fictionalized version of Brattleboro, VT, with the main different being that the actual town has a whole lot more poverty than in the book. Approximately 80% of the kids in Brattleboro qualify for Free/Reduced School lunch, but those kids also are surrounded by a community that loves them, and they are so excited to help launch a Community Read of THE BENEFITS OF BEING OCTOPUS by marching (with a GIANT octopus) in the town's July 4th parade. With every shirt you purchase, you are also covering the cost of a t-shirt for one of those kids, so they can wear their #TeamOctopus shirt in the parade and in the future as an ongoing reminder of their own inner strength.

This book spoke to me and my students. I love it.

I LOVE this! Benefits of Being an Octopus is the book I wish I’d had as a kid, and I can’t recommend it enough! Watching Zoey find her voice and her strength not only builds empathy in readers, but also helps them discover their own inner strength.

The Benefits of Being an Octopus was amazing and I support Ann Braden's vision of creating compassionate teachers who realize the struggles their children are going through.
