Hanging Zen - Hardcover

by Alanna Zabel (Author), Rita Vigovszky (Illustrator)

Yama lives on the Hawaiian island of Oahu. She loves the ocean, and walks the Waikiki Beach with her rescue animal friends every morning. Today is a big day for Yama as she is competing in the Sunset Beach Surf Contest! On her way to compete, she sees a distressed dolphin trapped in fisherman's net. Yama rushes to help free the dolphin, knowing that she could be disqualified for being late. Aided by a Zumba-loving Pincher Crab, Neha is freed from the net. Grateful for Yama's kindness, she returns the favor by escorting her to the Surf Contest along the North Shore of Oahu, just in the knick of time! Children will learn the power of being kind, as well as understanding the dangers that our oceans and sea life face today with increased pollution.
