Dana and the dolphin, a new children's book written with children's input

A new children's book titled “Dana and the Dolphin”, written by local resident Jane Jaffer, has been launched by Turtle's Bookshop.

The story centres on the adventures of a young Omani girl who is rescued by a beautiful grey dolphin.

“Dana and the Dolphin” have been illustrated by several, young and talented Omani schoolgirls.
Jaffer is currently spearheading a campaign with Dar Al Atta'a to promote reading in the community and to help raise funds for a mobile library unit. Jaffer said she thought it would be great for children to read a story that was set in Oman.

When the book was being written, Jaffer invited local children to offer their ideas and to involve them children in the creative writing.
