IN DOLPHIN TIME - Hardcover

Diane Farris is an artist whose work is exhibited throughout the country and is part of many private and public collections, including the Museum of Contemporary Photography in Chicago, the Polaroid Collection in Boston, the High Museum in Atlanta, the New Orleans Museum of Art and the Museum of Fines Arts in Houston.

Kindergarten-Grade 3-Pearly, sea-tinged double-exposure photos of dolphins in the unexpected corners of the author/photographer's mind are accompanied by a brief, poetically personal text. Farris's mystical association with these smiling cetaceans is hung on the dreamlike fantasy of a child bringing a pair home from the beach in a pocket, admiring them around the house, and returning them to the ocean. Celebrating the connection between "human" and "non," the story will speak to introspective children and bring a small lump to parental throats while reading aloud.
