From a student

"Narrated and directed by 14-year-old Marlon Denning, this heartfelt story touches on the importance of nature and wildlife and its therapeutic capabilities. During the COVID outbreak, Marlon befriends an octopus that not only gets him through the difficult time, but acts as a friend when he is isolated from his peers. This beautiful encapsulation of their relationship not only demonstrates the importance of connection but also the respect that our natural world deserves." — Ruby Cieciuch, age 14
