Reflections

Two covers, two realities. A true story of mutualism inspired by the beaches of Laguna, Brazil, where humans and dolphins have been working as a team and fishing together for generations to maximise their efforts.
Through the wonderful illustrations of the seabed and the warm beaches, contrasting both worlds, the author creates a visual and textual mirror and takes us on a beautiful journey to understand that humans and dolphins are not so different. The format, text and illustrations work in harmony to convey the need to view wildlife as equals, to learn from one another and to work together.
It includes comprehensive information about dolphins.
