MAGGIE TOKUDA-HALL at Books Inc. Berkeley

Join Books Inc. in Berkeley for a launch party celebrating former Books Inc. bookseller Maggie Tokuda-Hall's adorable debut picture book, Also an Octopus! Even the most "totally awesome" story starts with a little bit of nothing. What happens next is up to you! A delightfully meta picture book that will set imaginations soaring. It begins with an octopus who plays the ukulele. Since this is a story, the octopus has to "want "something maybe to travel to faraway galaxies in a totally awesome purple spaceship. Then the octopus sets out to "build "a spaceship out of soda cans, glue, umbrellas, glitter, and waffles. OK, maybe the octopus needs some help, like from an adorable bunny friend, and maybe that bunny turns out to be . . . a rocket scientist? (Probably not.) But could something even more amazing come to pass? Maggie Tokuda-Hall, with the help of award-winning illustrator Benji Davies, sets up an endearingly funny story, then hands the baton to readers, who will be more than primed to take it away. (Ages 3+)
