A winter storm at sea brings disaster to creatures living on a rocky coastline. Huge waves drive a large ship onto hidden rocks. Suddenly, a distress call goes out. Oil spill!
This beautifully illustrated picture book shows the devastating effects of an oil spill by focusing on the smallest penguin in the world - the fairy penguins. With simple text and delightful illustrations, Tricia Oktober shows us how these tiny creatures can be damaged by such a disaster and how they can be cared for and returned safely to their natural environment.
