Reviews

A lively and inspiring tale of village life and the dangers to wildlife of releasing balloons.
Laird brings important real-life issues to this exciting adventure set against the rugged Scottish landscape. Peter Bailey’s atmospheric black and white illustrations bring the story to life and Laird gently reminds us that we all have a responsibility to take care of our precious marine life.
[B]rilliantly captures the problem of how an outsider can find a place where they truly belong . . . it is also a powerful story about the terrible threat to the sea and all the creatures that live in it from the casual discarding of plastic waste.
Song of the Dolphin Boy is such a beautiful, important, heartfelt book. I loved every page
