The Whale's Dolphin Friend

In the wide, warm ocean, a young humpback whale named Wren watches sunlight dance on the waves. One sunny day, a bottlenose dolphin calf named Pip races past her and asks for a race, and the two become fast friends. Pip is quick and curious and scouts ahead, while Wren is steady and calm and carries the deep songs of the whale families. Each day they explore together, learning from what the other knows best.

When a sudden storm darkens the sky and churns the water, Wren keeps her big body between Pip and the rough waves. After the storm passes, both families are gone, and their calls bring no reply. Remembering what their mothers taught them about currents that always flow the same way, the two friends set out together. This gentle tale by Jane MEADOW follows their single journey, showing how different strengths fit together and how friends encourage each other when the way home is uncertain.
