NOTES
BlurbJourney to the lush, volcanic heart of Mauritius, an island paradise that became an ark of unique life-and a stage for profound loss. In this stunningly original anthology, the author gives voice to the silent, granting us the world through the senses of the creatures who lived it: a dodo's final journey to save his family, a swiftlet's desperate flight through a cyclone, the determined crawl of a giant tortoise through a landscape of fire, and the hopeful song of a pink pigeon who becomes an unlikely mother. Where the Dodo Dreamed is more than a collection of stories; it is an elegy written in moonlight and moss, a fierce celebration of life's resilience, and a powerful reminder that every vanished species takes with it a cosmos of experience, love, and memory. It is a testament to what was, what remains, and what might yet be saved. Brinda L. Phokeerdass is an educator and storyteller dedicated to rekindling the joy of reading among young minds. With a deep-rooted belief in the transformative power of stories, she aims to inspire children to immerse themselves in the worlds of imagination and discovery. Through her writing, Brinda seeks to create narratives that captivate and engage, encouraging young readers to explore, learn, and grow through the written word.
