FLIPPER AND FINNEGAN

From the bestselling creators of Tippy & Jellybean - The True Story of the Brave Koala who Saved Her Baby From a Bushfire, this affirming and delightful tale is based on a true story of animal rescue and community cooperation.

Flipper and Finnegan live on a beautiful island. Every morning they hunt for fish in the clear blue ocean waters. Every evening they waddle up the beach together with all their friends. It's a penguin parade! But one day, when Flipper comes up for air she gets covered in something that is black and smelly and sticky - and Finnegan is nowhere to be seen... The wildlife rangers hear about an oil spill off the coast. They know that oily feathers cannot keep the wild penguins warm, and that swallowing oil will make them sick. So they put out the call: please knit tiny jumpers to help save the penguins! This is the miraculous true story of how a viral knitting campaign helped save the lives of Phillip Island's Little Penguins.
