I Am . . . I Can: The Dolphin

By Marie Chase and Melissa Granthan

I Am . . . I Can (The Dolphin): I Can Dance on Water is the eighth book in my children’s book series.

It is a story about an envious dolphin who was afraid to swim with the other dolphins because she felt she would never have the grace and talent to dance on water like a real dolphin. And she was embarrassed to even try because of how ridiculous and clumsy she would look. But once she was encouraged to be proud of who she was and prove it, she was amazed at how easy it was after all to perform with grace and ease.

Beautifully designed by illustrator Melissa Grantham with brilliant colors and soulful characters, they add intrigue and enlivenment to this delicate story.

Marie Chase

As a retired steelworker and someone who loves animals and children, I decided to combine the two in a book series where they can help each other. I volunteer my time at Reins of Life, a therapeutic riding stable, where I am a caretaker of the horses and assist in the riding classes. I have also spent time at Washington Park Zoo as a volunteer helper and have been an aide for teachers at elementary school classes. I was a pet groomer for twelve years, so I had spent some time in the shelter, grooming pets to make them more adoptable. Being a mother of two sons, two grandsons, and a step-granddaughter has helped me come up with the idea of using animals as an imaginary guide.
