Derek the Flying Dodo is a delightful and colourfully illustrated story for young children ages five to seven (and their folks) from Mauritius-born author, Vanee Apoolingum.
Everyone is fully aware that Dodos cannot fly. But that doesn't stop one particular young Dodo, a Dodo called Derek, from yearning to fly. In fact, it's all he ever dreamed of.
One day, Derek sees a shooting star and he makes a wish and the magic of the shooting star enables Derek's dream of being able to fly come true.
He meets a young boy called Aaron and, together, they both set off to explore the world, see new things, visit new places and have fun together.
There's an important lesson in the book from the author. "Dodo"n't let your dreams go extinct."
It's an utterly charming book and will be ideal for parents and children to read together and to look at the colourful illustrations.
It's published by Matador at £7.99.
Hopefully we will see more book from this author in the near future.
