Overview
“But the crowning work by Immedium, in our humble estimation, is Sid the Squid.... A whole book with pictures and illustrations of a squid?! Be still our little three-year-old hearts! Awesome book title. Loved it thoroughly.” - Reading to Know
What is the perfect job for a giant squid with ten arms? Sid swims ashore and a girl named Alice helps him on his quest. Their humorous journey will resonate with children, who are encouraged to follow their dreams, and parents, who yearn for personal fulfillment.
With his skills, could Sid be a good policeman, fireman, or cook? Ultimately, Sid realizes the "right fit" is important: he must find a job he can put his heart into. Everyone will identify with Sid’s trials, errors…and, finally, success!
Illustrated with colorful verve by a professional DreamWorks animator, Sid's expressiveness hearkens to the silent comedy of Charlie Chaplin and WALL-E. This squid is an inspirational hero for our times.
“While the target audience isn’t currently scouring the job market, Derrick has given them Sid the Squid, whose humorous tale with action-packed illustrations will be remembered.” - Kelly Behle, Youth Services Librarian, Castaic Library, Los Angeles County Library System
"Sid the giant squid, with his many useful arms and huge, expressive eyes, searches San Francisco for the perfect job....its hilarious to see Sid's multitasking legs in handsome, computer-generated cartoon illustrations rendered by a seasoned DreamWorks story artist." - Bayviews, Association of Children's Librarians of Northern California
"A Children's Book that Entertains Adults Too...While the majority of preschoolers and early elementary-age children whom the book is directed at are probably not concerned that they will not find their dream job, the book does provide an empowering message that adults (particularly the recently college-educated, but jobless) will want to pass on to their children. And for the children themselves, the book provides an endearingly earnest squid they can root for." - suite101
"It's no longer just a time to look for a new job, but is also a time to prepare yourself for a better job."—President Barack Obama
