The Boy and the Dolphin

By Robyn Kahukiwa; Illustrated by Robyn Kahukiwa
Little Island Press

When a boy helps free a dolphin tangled in a discarded fishing net, they develop an unexpected friendship.

“Once there was a boy who lived by the sea. He loved the sea and he swam in it every day he could . . .which was most days. He was a very good swimmer.

One day, the boy was swimming as usual when he noticed some splashing further out in the water. He decided to take a closer look.”

This title is also available in the Māori language translation Te Tamaiti me te Aihe.

Robyn Kahukiwa (Ngāti Porou, Te Aitanga-a-Hauiti) is one of Aotearoa New Zealand’s most important Māori artists. Her paintings have been exhibited worldwide and are held in galleries, museums and private collections. Robyn has written and illustrated numerous children’s picture books and has herself been the subject of books including The Art of Robyn Kahukiwa (Reed, 2005).
