At any age, we need good stories – and this is a GREAT one for any child who loves picture books!
Ripple’s Effect tells the story of a dolphin who moves into a new pool and just wants to have fun and play with the other sea creatures.
Unfortunately, a Shark named Snark and his gang of buddies pick on Ripple, making her miserable.
How Ripple uses her courage and smile to show Snark how good it feels to choose to be happy is truly a “how to stop bullying” success story.
Any child who has ever felt nervous going to a new place or worried about others being unkind will relate to Ripple’s predicament – and be delighted with how she figures out what to do to solve her problem.
The important story, colorful humorous drawings, and vivid language make this book a treasure that kids will want to read over and over again.
