That Thing

A close encounter with an intelligent octopus provides a lesson in the value of curiosity and kindness to animals.
Debut writer Avital Balwit's That Thing suggests that our indifference to other animals also reflects how we sometimes treat each other. Illustrator Alexis Deacon’s watercolour washes and exquisite octopi animate this brilliant short story. That Thing was one of four winners of Pop Up's 10th Birthday Writing Competition. For young readers age 10 and up.
