Holly Hermit Crab’s New Friends is a gem of a bedtime storybook for children. Holly is a bossy crab who lives my way or the highway notion in her life. She pushes people away due to her stubborn nature until she comes across a shining shell one day, which lures her towards itself. Thereby, she gets into some serious trouble and escaped it with someone’s help. This transforms her life and she learns how kindness is the key to co-exist with everyone. The children’s storybook imparts the message of exhibiting compassion and kindness towards others, making friends, and being a positive contributor, to the world. Moral-based small story for children. Parents looking for character building must purchase it. A colorfully illustrated, attention-grabber, which will keep your children entertained.
