My picture-book-poem ‘Dolphins Keep Me Safe in Dreams’ has been re-designed and re-printed!
I had a lot of fun going back to the art work and adding a fold out cover and improving the illustrations. Now readers are taken on an even more magical journey with the three friendly dolphins , little girl and cat. The book is a richly illustrated bedtime journey across a dream-ocean to the islands of Dinkerdire, Toonaneen and far beyond. I think it’s about as dreamy, enchanted and magical as you can get! This book has proved really popular with readers of all ages (grown-ups as well as children) and I’m very proud of it.
Every night I sail away,
To islands on my secret sea,
Faraway and home by dawn,
Dolphins Keep Me Safe in Dreams.

Here’s a review by Elaine Chant in ‘Carousel’, The Guide for Children’s Books:
…and some comments from readers:
“The book is wonderful. It made me cry (in a good way).” (from a grown-up reader)
“Such a tender lullaby, which set us both at peace” (from a mum reading with her daughter)
“It’s a book for all ages, as children are not the only ones who can lie awake with wide-open eyes, imagining things that make them too scared to sleep” (from Hastings Online Times)

Is there a version of this lovely book for boys please? I bought this book for my grandson but when I opened the packet and found it was about a girl I didn’t think it would resonate with him. Do you have the same book with a boy as the character? Thank you, Susan
Sorry Susan i don’t. I actually made the hero a girl in this story partly because so many of my other books have boys as the hero!
Hi Ed, If I ordered some prints would the arrive by Christmas? Thanks, Robert
Yes! It shouldn’t be any problem if you order today or tomorrow. All the best, Ed
