Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Kindergarten-Grade 3-Pearly, sea-tinged double-exposure photos of dolphins in the unexpected corners of the author/photographer's mind are accompanied by a brief, poetically personal text. Farris's mystical association with these smiling cetaceans is hung on the dreamlike fantasy of a child bringing a pair home from the beach in a pocket, admiring them around the house, and returning them to the ocean. Celebrating the connection between "human" and "non," the story will speak to introspective children and bring a small lump to parental throats while reading aloud.
