Dallas World Aquarium

Dallas, Texas

We like to believe that the bridge between a fiction novel and the real world can be linked when the novel incorporates real-world elements, and where the characters of the story can be seen live. Thus, as the first live-animal venue to accept copies of The Blue Q for sale in their gift shop, we are incredibly proud to work with our friends at the Dallas World Aquarium. Together, we not only work to create memorable experiences for visitors, but we also strive to enrich the environment for all habits on Earth.

- Are copies of the Spanish edition of the novel available at the Dallas World Aquarium?

Yes! The Spanish edition - El Quetzal Azul: El Mundo Desde El Cielo - can also be purchased at Little Guatemala! See the El Quetzal Azul website for details.

- Does the Dallas World Aquarium offer shipping?

Please contact the Dallas World Aquarium directly to inquire about shipping items/products from the gift shop.

- Why did you choose to work with the Dallas World Aquarium?

We were extremely fortunate to have discovered the Dallas World Aquarium through a partnership in which we contributed towards the natural preservation of the resplendent quetzal habitat in Chiapas, Mexico. We immediately became interested in the many birds who live at the Dallas World Aquarium, and we wanted to combine our mission of environmental conservation with actual, real-life birds. Every bird that lives at the Aquarium is also found in the story of The Blue Q - some as more prominent characters - and we thought this was the perfect way to connect the narrative of The Blue Q to the real world. What’s more, visitors of the Dallas World Aquarium now have a way of furthering their family experience with an unforgettable story, which we hope will further the conservation efforts for birds around the world.
