Content Summary

Following your dreams isn’t always easy, especially when others don’t have your vision! When Rory, the adventurous orca, sets out to find the aurora borealis, none of his friends or family believe these mysterious northern lights exist. This means Rory must have the courage to believe in himself and embark on the quest on his own. But don’t worry! He finds some like-minded arctic creatures along the way to accompany him on his adventure. Filled with themes of friendship, bravery, and teamwork, this story is sure to inspire your little ones to never give up on their dreams!

Along with exhibiting positive social emotional skills, this uplifting story also strengthens literacy with rhyming and vocabulary exposure. The arctic trivia at the end adds an extra boost of science and fun!

Rory’s special story is brought to you by Carmen Ellis and Sarah Cullen, a pair of sisters from Australia who created the Ocean Tales Children’s Books series and Majestic Whale Encounters, a company that takes people swimming with whales all over the world.
