Description
Our oceans are filled with fantastic creatures that need our help, and Popoto, the Māui dolphin, is just one of them. Follow along as Popoto explores important issues such as overfishing, pollution, and how you can help save our oceans in this vibrant picture book. Created to celebrate the diversity of life in our planet's waters, Popoto's story and beautiful illustrations will inspire young environmentalists to take action.
The Māui dolphin is one of the world's smallest dolphins and can only be found off the North Island of New Zealand. As a critically endangered species with less than fifty members alive today, it is important that we spread the word about these fantastic little dolphins. We can still save the Māui dolphin! With a bit of compassion and a lot of hard work, everyday people like you and me can work with cetologists (scientists that study whales and dolphins) to educate kids and adults on the importance of ocean conservation.
Advance Praise
"Beautiful Popoto tells us about the joyful life of Maui dolphins and the challenges they face due to overfishing and abandoned fishing nets. Noemi Knight and Alvin Adhi use the charming dolphin to raise children's awareness of the beauty of nature and the threats posed by pollution. I enjoyed the story, the lovely drawings, and the hope that the story gives for a better future by teaching and inspiring the next generations about recycling, respecting nature, and taking action to preserve the environment.

This book follows a beautiful, young Maui dolphin and the struggles that he faces. One of only about fifty of his species left alive today, Popoto shows the perils of overfishing and plastic pollution from his perspective. As an avid ocean-lover myself, I hope this stunning book is a call to action for young readers everywhere. I love the way the author included small ways that every family can contribute, and I look forward to reading more from her in the future. This book should be a must-have in every home, every classroom, and every library.
