Dolphin Book

A Child’s Remarkable Ocean Adventure
 by Joan Bourque

     Dreams of Dolphins Dancing is a beautifully illustrated story that teaches environmental awareness as it follows a young girl’s imaginative journey through the ocean. While on an island vacation with her parents, Alyssa encounters a spirited, lone dolphins in a lagoon teeming with exotic fish, plants, crabs and coral. With the fun-loving dolphin as her guide, she learns about the interconnectedness of life within the ocean’s ecosystem.
     The two embark on a journey of discovery on their way to find the Spinner Dolphins. When they leave the shelter of the idyllic lagoon they find evidence of underwater destruction. Alyssa questions what a child can do to fight the devastation and pain she has witnessed in the sea. It is in the self-contained island home of a local fisherman and his wife where Alyssa finds renewed hope. She learns how one small, but committed person might really make a difference.

  REVIEW:                      “Rarely does a book come along that has the potential to inspire children on as many levels as does Dreams of Dolphins Dancing.
     Environmentally correct, vividly descriptive narrative stimulates curiosity and promotes an early love of sea life.  Professionally painted, full page illustrations celebrate the undersea world in visual explosions that call to children*s senses and awaken emerging imaginations and fantasies.      But it is the gentle flow of the tale itself that peaks children’s interests while sending a strong emotional message that calls each child to personal environmental action”.
