A little preview

On a calm shore, Alex watched waves that rolled like soft pillows. Farther out, a small whale bobbed its round head above the water and hummed a tiny, trembling tune. The whale, called Mira, wanted to sing for her family across the blue, but her song felt too small to travel. Alex wished to help and asked Aunt Mae, an experienced guide, to come along. They fastened life jackets, checked the calm forecast, and climbed into Mae’s low boat while dolphins flipped hello nearby.
