In rhythmic verse, young readers are invited to join a lively celebration of Hawai'i. Whether jumping from a wave, threading flowers one by one, or dancing gracefully as a hula dancer; children will enjoy the colorful illustrations in Happy as a Dolphin. The verse is also an exercise in SIMILES, for example: “I'm as big as a mighty whale powered by his tail,
                        and small as a hermit crab creeping like a snail.”
