Otis the Octopus is a continuation of Amy's series of children's books within the 'Little Loop the Lobster' family. In this book, Amy focuses on a new character within the original book to emphasise the innocence and sweet nature of new friendships within a preschool setting. Amy was inspired by her daughter Madeline's admiration of her close friend Otis. Amy loved to listen to Madeline's day on the way home in the car. Madeline talked about how they played games together, painted, learned to write their names, practised spelling, and general time together.

Little Loop is crafted around the theme of forging friendships in a new classroom setting. Amy, the guiding voice in the story, teaches her girls the importance of accepting others, being inclusive, and exhibiting kindness. This book is a journey of persistence and resilience, aiming to inspire young readers with its message of hope. It encourages children to embrace the joy of connecting with classmates and fostering unity. The story of Little Loop is just the beginning of a planned series of children's books. Amy intends to draw from the endearing experiences and daily interactions she observes with her daughters. Her goal is to lay a foundation of positivity for her daughters during their formative years, guiding them as they grow, learn, and transition through life's various stages. Amy's vision is to create a series that not only entertains but also imparts valuable life lessons to young readers
