Description

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... This is the miraculous true story of how a viral knitting campaign helped save the lives of Millowl/Phillip Island's Little Penguins.
