"A Different Dolphin" is a rhyming tale that showcases the sweetest and kindest mammal in all the seas. A finned friend with a kind heart, this dolphin is an individual who yearns for acceptance. However, because of his differences, because of who he is deep down inside, his community rejects him and casts him into loneliness and isolation. Stranded and in a state of despair, he even begins to question the value of his life. In his darkest hour and when all hope seems lost, loving ethereal sea creatures rise from the deep abyss and save him with their words of encouragement. With such genuine kindness expressed from these peculiar yet graceful monsters of the deep, our friendly dolphin soars with a newly discovered ray of inner strength and fortitude, and he bathes in a new light of self compassion, acceptance, and appreciation?.and it?s just in the nick of time. Menacing fishermen are clanking into the seas, shepherding his dolphin community?into a trap where they might be harmed. Discovering their predicament, our hero turns the other fin and dashes to rescue the same group that abandoned him to darkness

Silence. After 74 years without laughter, without smiling, without touch, without kisses to dry dirty tears, this is what the world has come to know. Silence, and gray. 50 years from now, humanity voted to ban love from existence. It was their choice--a choice agreed on by everyone. So it was prohibited. Smiles were gone. Laughter was illegal. Kissing, hugging and touching were unthinkable. With each day that passed, eyes faded to a deep, empty gray. But what humanity did not know is that without love, there was only hate.

The thought of touching one another is repulsive. Their world is routine--meals, studies, Collaboration. It's like this every day. Laney's life is like this every day. The stories she has hea
