I Am . . . I Can: The Dolphin

I Am... I Can. (The Dolphin) “I Can Dance On Water.” is the eighth book in my children’s books series. It is a story about an envious dolphin who was afraid to swim with the other dolphins because she felt she would never have the grace and talent to dance on water like a real dolphin. And she was embarrassed to even try because of how ridiculous and clumsy she would look. But once she was encouraged to be proud of who she was and must prove it, she was amazed at how easy it was after all to perform with grace and ease. Beautifully designed by illustrator Melissa Grantham with brilliant colors and soulful characters adds intrigue and enlivenment to this delicate story.

Volunteering time to help children and animals in a variety of community jobs, I devised a series of books depicting animals in difficult situations and who are required to develop courage and self-confidence to achieve a goal that was seemingly impossible. It was my hope that these books would influence children to do their best and never give up as they cheer on their favorite animal to release their fear and be brave enough to try.
