A Song for Smiley

Smiley plays with his mom in the shallow water.
The little dophin becomes friends with Leila, a girl who surfs with her dad.
From then on, they play together every morning, having a great time.
One terrible morning, there is plastic wrapped around Smiley and his mom, and they wash up on the beach.
Leila finds them there.
She and her dad do everything they can to save their new friends.

Also available in Afrikaans as ‘n Deuntjie vir Druppel.
