About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is beginning to crave more independence but still relies on the safety and comfort of your presence. It is a perfect choice for those quiet moments before a first day of preschool or a new swim lesson, offering a soothing bridge between the security of home and the excitement of the wider world. The story follows a young dolphin as he transitions from constant contact with his mother to playful exploration with a larger pod. Through gentle prose and DK's signature clear photography, the book explores themes of curiosity, familial love, and the joy of discovery. It is ideally suited for 3 to 5 year olds who are fascinated by animals and the ocean. Parents will appreciate how it reinforces the idea that growing up is a natural, fun process where help is always nearby. It transforms a simple biology lesson into a comforting narrative about finding one's place in a community.
