Dolphins Keep Me Safe in Dreams

 

My picture-book-poem ‘Dolphins Keep Me Safe in Dreams’ has been re-designed and re-printed!

It now has a colour wraparound cover and the black-and-white illustrations have been improved with rich detail.

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)
