Olivia is a happy octopus with a problem. She cannot keep her many hands to herself. After getting in trouble at school and dance class, Olivia is sad and in need of guidance. God gives Olivia's mother a great idea! With encouragement from her father and a prayer for God's help, Olivia learns a little life lesson. Perhaps you have the same problem that Olivia had. You may need a green ribbon day of your own. God loves you and wants to help you! Simply pray and ask God for strength. Do not worry about anything. But pray and ask God for everything you need.
