"I think your stories are SPECTACULAR because I think you teach people around
the world about dolphins and about friendship!"
Zaynab from 20 B
"When my class read The Dolphin Way, I have never seen such enthusiasm or passion
for their reading. My class made t-shirts, bags, hats, etc. to support the cause of saving
the dolphins. It was one of the most fantastic experiences of my teaching career.
