Once there was the cutest crab you ever saw. He looked a little strange on sand, since he was missing one front claw. The other crabs wouldn't play with him. They would laugh at him and stare. Until one day, a hurricane changed everything, and became a turning point that moved the crabs to choose empathy and accept the little one-clawed crab.

The little crab knew he was different, not at all like all the rest. It was hard for him to move around, of course he always tried his best. The Brave Little Crab is a beautiful children's picture book about understanding and appreciating each other. Kids will learn to empathize with the one-clawed crab and discover that each kindness helps someone proudly shine bright.

After a terrible hurricane, a crab gets stuck in between the reeds. All the other crabs tried to save him, but the only one who could ultimately save him was the brave, one-clawed little crab. The Brave Little Crab is a celebration of being more alike than different. This bedtime adventure of kindness, empathy, and inclusion for kids will stay with them for a lifetime.
