Winner at the 2012 Living Now Book Awards. Imagination flies free in this fun, entertaining, and sleepy time picture book for young, creative kids seeing the world in ways most of us cannot even imagine.
Zaira is a little girl who can’t stop imagining. She sees the world with such vivid colors, dreamlike shapes, that everyone fins it difficult to believe her. Her imagination soon leads her to meet some very special friends —in a fountain, right in the middle of the town square, she sees a group of dolphins playing in the water.
Everyday she goes by the fountain to say hi, but one day the dolphins weren’t there. To her distress, the fountain was empty. “You are so dreamy, Zaira. Dolphins doesn’t exist”, said some children who were playing by the fountain. At that very instant, a magic fairy appeared and rescued Zaira, bringing her the hopes and dreams she’d lost.
