The Book of Whale and Dolphin

Every whale and dolphin is part of the dream of the sea…. Just like the Japanese manga Triton of the Sea, Liao presents his oceanic stories through the conversations between God (the sea), humans (the protagonist and the old captain), and the messengers (the cetaceans). These casual dialogues reveal thee way of life and death. Let us learn to respect and love the messengers sent from above, as well as all living things.
