Once upon a time in Kona, a beautiful wild dolphin approached humans, in need of help escaping a fishing line. 

The dolphin waited patiently while divers freed him. Martina Wing, co-owner of “Manta Ray Advocates” and the underwater camerawoman who documented the amazing encounter, was inspired by her video’s online virality to share this uplifting, educational story with children through her picture book, ‘Notch, the Rescued Dolphin’.

Dive into the story of Notch with the author, and learn more about the importance of conservation and environmental protection. Copies of Martina’s book will be on sale at the end of the program for $20.00 (cash payment only). 

This program is suitable for keiki ages 5 through 11 years old. Children must be accompanied by an adult caregiver. This program is generously sponsored by the Friends of the Libraries, Kona (F.O.L.K.).
