Grumpy Bill

By Tammy Owen

Grumpy Bill, a very grumpy hermit crab, is on the search for a new shell to call home. On his journey, he meets the too-cheerful Harmony, at least to Bill. But Harmony sees past Grumpy Bill's hard shell and knows, deep down, he really wants a friend.

With Harmony's help, Grumpy Bill opens up about being teased about his too-big shell, and she encourages him to never give up on his dreams, even if others are not being kind. Together, Grumpy Bill and Harmony learn valuable lessons in kindness, fairness, and friendship.

A beautifully illustrated book for children, "Grumpy Bill" teaches the importance of showing kindness to others, making new friends, and holds a valuable lesson on treating our oceans with respect.
