Hello, My Name Is Octicorn Review: Funny and cute with a good message - I enjoy children's books that are little bit off beat and silly. I can appreciate that sort of zany humor that books like this one have, but I also really like the message. I think it is a wonderful choice for covering a number of issues from when you're feeling like you're just a little bit different from everyone else, to feeling totally different, to understanding when different cultures or types mix to create a new and unique and wonderful thing. I like that the overall message is also about accepting and loving who you are, even if it seems odd to other people. My kids really enjoy the illustrations and the funny nature of the book, and sometimes I think it's easier when the message is something they enjoy without realizing that there is a message. I'm an Asian adopted by Caucasians, and my kids are mixed race asians, so I like books that help my kids understand their unique background. I definitely enjoyed and recommend this book. Review: This is a short, easy read with a message that packs an important punch. - Hello, My Name Is Octicorn by Kevin Diller and illustrated by Justin Lowe invites readers to consider befriending Octi, a creature whose mom was an octopus and whose dad was a unicorn. Octi has trouble finding friends because he is so unique. Everyone shuns him. Because they fear his differences, they miss out on the pleasure of knowing him. Octi showcases his many unique talents he has because he is half unicorn and half octopus. At parties he can juggle and dance with the best. At campfires he can toast marshmallows on his horn!...if he were invited. Ah, but that is the situation. Octi doesn't get invited. After presenting his case, Octi concludes his story with an invitation: "Will you be my friend? Yes or No?" This is brilliant writing because the question lands directly in the reader's personal world. And hopefully, in their heart. Octi challenges them individually. They must make a choice--even if only in their mind. Will they choose friendship or rejection? Justin Lowe's quirky, unsophisticated, child like illustrations further the sense that this story is a personal conversation between Octi and the reader. This is a short, easy read with a message that packs an important punch. Adoption-attuned (AQ) Lens: This book has an obvious and easy segue into discussions of the challenges, realities and benefits of being biracial and/or multiracial. So, kids who are bi-racial or multi-racial may feel a special resonance with the theme of this book. One illustration shows a genealogical diagram depicting Octi's parents. (Dad is a unicorn; mom is an octopus.) This illustration might lead to conversations about the heritages of each birth parent. Parent and child can discuss both the reality and the cultural beliefs of both groups. The book highlights the benefits of Octi's dual heritage. This is an important point for all adoptees. There is a richness that comes from muti-ethnicity. We see it as an additive experience instead of as a subtractive one. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #752,164 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,789 in Children's Dragon, Unicorn & Mythical Creatures Stories #2,452 in Children's Spine-Chilling Horror #9,540 in Children's Friendship Books | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (175) | | Dimensions | 0.5 x 9.3 x 9.1 inches | | Edition | Illustrated | | Grade level | Preschool - 3 | | ISBN-10 | 0062387936 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0062387936 | | Item Weight | 7.2 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 48 pages | | Publication date | May 17, 2016 | | Publisher | HarperCollins | | Reading age | 4 - 7 years, from customers | ## Images ![Hello, My Name Is Octicorn - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71SbFZKq4oL.jpg) ![Hello, My Name Is Octicorn - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41HJJbvQOPL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Funny and cute with a good message *by K***I on September 11, 2016* I enjoy children's books that are little bit off beat and silly.

Written in a first person narrative, the story talks about being different, feeling like an outsider and loneliness in a way that younger kids can relate with. While the themes are a little sad, the story stays upbeat and hopeful. I've had really great conversations with my LO because of this book, so much so that I'd consider obnoxiously buying it for every new parent I know, heh. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/33623295-hello-my-name-is-octicorn](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/33623295-hello-my-name-is-octicorn) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
