Hello, my name is Winter!
Well she is not a baby anymore, Oct 1st marks Winter’s 4th birthday! She was found by the Clearwater Marine Aquarium staff with a crab trap rope wrapped tightly around her tail. With no circulation getting through, things looked bad for the little girl. But against all odds she learned to swim again with the help of an inspiring prosthetics doctor who created her a new tail.
She will be featured in current and upcoming media stories in Reader’s Digest, People, Good Housekeeping and more! But the most exciting news is Oct 1st will also be the day the book, Winter’s Tail: How One Little Dolphin Learned to Swim Again, will officially be released by Scholastic. The book is about Clearwater’s very own famous resident, Winter the dolphin. You can pre-order your copy of the book now at Amazon.com or BarnesAndNoble.com
In addition, on October 7 at 1 p.m., kids in classrooms across the United States will tune-in for a live Webcast (which can be accessed at www.scholastic.com/winterstail) with Winter, her trainers, the author of the book and more. You can watch the Webcast from wherever you are!
