"A tortoise from the Galapagos Islands goes on an adventure--at her own speed"--

While vacationing in Greece, Jenny discovers a secluded beach where a rare seal hides his family. Includes information about the seal species and environmental threats.

"Every day, in a house by the sea, a little boy watches his father leave for a long day's work. One night, a great storm washes a small whale onto the beach. The boy discovers the whale is a good listener. The father discovers the boy is lonely. Together, they return the whale to the sea. And from that day on, the boy learns that the father can be a good listener too"--

Whale's beautiful song calms a wriggly octopus, cheers a sad urchin, and much more but cannot cure his loneliness without the help of his friends.
