So I'm a huge sucker for ocean animal stories--even if they aren't paranormal ones. As one of GA's most popular authors, I knew if I picked one of Carlos' works, readers would love to share their thoughts and comments on the discussion day, and it's been far too long since his last CSR feature. So if you have a short reading window, pick this story to read, or reread! As a bonus, Carlos has 4 total Earth Day stories to enjoy, so you can keep reading if you get caught up in his storytelling. 

Dolphin Delivery

by @Carlos Hazday

Length: 2,467

Description: Liebe, a young girl living in the Florida Keys with her two fathers, encounters a dolphin in distress while fishing. When one of her fathers helps save the animal, they make a friend for life.

A Reader Said: Somehow I missed this story when it was posted. It is sweet in the best way, and reminds me of the stories I read to my daughter when she was young. Thanks for including descriptions of the illustrations. It makes me wish I was better at drawing. I could see how they would look in my head. Nicely done! Thanks.  ~JeffreyL

Having grown up in Cuba, Puerto Rico, and Miami, the ocean's been a fixture in my life. My love for sea creatures, particularly marine mammals, matches Cia's. The fact I have 3 dolphins adorning my body should give you an idea of how deep my affection for those animals runs.

Over the past few years, I've tried to vary what I write, stretching myself, and trying new things. When I introduced a little girl into my main series, I decided to try writing stories for her. Setting them in the Florida Keys, an environmentally sensitive region, provided latitude to explore multiple areas. Choosing dolphins as the subject of the first one was a no-brainer.

The other three stories in the series focus on beach pollution, sea turtles, and coral reefs. I have half-a-dozen ideas for future ones and the next one will be published on Earth Day 2023.

Hope you enjoy Dolphin Delivery. Leave me a comment on it, or come back at the end of the month for a group discussion. I'll try to answer all your questions.

Thank you for featuring my little tale, @Cia!
