About this ebook

Pagui, a small hermit crab, is a uniquely special being who feels alienated by the other animals who do not see him as "normal". Yet, as time goes by, he grows up and discovers that what truly matters is not the outward appearance but inner values. This story celebrates diversity as a force that strengthens us individually and enriches us collectively.
