A baby octopus waved its little arms at me when I glimpsed it on some coral while in the ocean off the island of Okinawa when I was visiting my daughter and her husband. It wasnt until I returned home and was musing over what creatures would take the place of the three bears in my under-the-sea Goldilocks story that it dawned on me that octopuses, intelligent and mischievous, would be just right. I admired the Okinawan houses and made the Octopus house like the island ones. When I worried out loud that the octopuses looked alien, my young friend Alma suggested they wear hats. Now the setting and the clothes were Japanese. n Back in Boston, the New England Aquariums cold-water aquarist introduced me to Sy, their famous giant Pacific octopus. I had an arms on experience with her. From then on, my characters seemed to take shape by themselves. n n Alice went down a rabbit hole to find another world. For me, I stepped off the beach in Okinawa. --Jan Brettn
