SANDCASTLE CRABMAN tells the story of a lone crab who looks different from everyone else in his community. Despite facing exclusion and mockery, he remains joyful and loving, teaching young readers about resilience and the power of self-acceptance. The tale begins with a typical day on Crabland Island, where all crabs except Sandcastle Crabman are invited to a big beach party. Feeling left out but undeterred, Sandcastle Crabman continues to enjoy his hobbies, which include building intricate sandcastles and reading.
