"The Adventures of Blue Ocean Bob - A Journey Begins" by Author Brooks Olbrys & Illustrations by Kevin Keele {Book Review}



Synopsis:

Young Bob lives on an idyllic island, yet he yearns for a greater sense of purpose. With his guardian Xena, a cautious hummingbird, by his side, Bob seeks guidance from the wise and
happy creatures of the sea. Al the dolphin, Doc the turtle, Earl the clam, and Wallace the walrus all give him great advice, but Bob’s true test, like all true tests, requires strength from within: to achieve his dreams, he’ll have to overcome his fears and the boundaries that could otherwise prevent him from becoming a marine biologist and devoting his life to protecting the ocean.

 This is no small problem. After all, Bob must prove himself to the renowned marine scientist Mary Marine. A Journey Begins highlights the importance of purpose, vision, goals, attitude, and persistence, all of which are required to make Blue Ocean Bob’s dream, and every other dream, come true.
