These first books in our Northwest collection by author and artist Paul Owen Lewis are near and dear to us. Davy's Dream is Paul's first book. The inspiration for the book came after he read about the wild killer whales that make their home in the waters near where he lives. He had a dream that he was sailing his new boat among them. When he awoke he began drawing what he had seen in the dream. These drawings eventually grew into the story (words came later), Davy's Dream, about a boy who realizes his dream of sailing with the mighty and mysterious orca whales despite repeated failure and discouragement from others.
