Storytime with the Gentle Kraken

A cheerful sea monster pops from a puff of seaweed, grinning wide around a tiny fang. He wears big round glasses that slide a bit on his nose as he holds a chunky book with both fins. Dots speckle his smooth sides, and a tall, ridged fin rises behind his head like a sail. A little bubble slips from his mouth, as if the funny part made him snort.

Curly sea plants crowd around his belly, turning the seabed into a cozy reading nook. His bright eyes shine, and one lifted brow says he is very proud of the word he just sounded out. Bold, clean lines leave roomy spaces for splashes of color, from his spotted skin to the open pages. This gentle kraken boy reads happily while the ocean hums around him.

Fun Fact!

The "Morgawr" is the name of a sea serpent cryptid said to live in Falmouth Bay, Cornwall, England.

Coloring Tips

  1. 1 Blend two blues for the water and leave light swirls around the bubble.
  2. 2 Give his fin stripes or a gradient so it looks tall and wavy.
  3. 3 Dot darker spots over lighter skin to make his freckles pop.
  4. 4 Add tiny fish listening to storytime around the seaweed.
