Softly sleeping in her clam shell, a merbabe rests peacefully under the ocean. But her peace is about to be broken. A gentle kiss from a passing seahorse wakes her and draws her into an adventure through her coral reef playground. 
As the currents draw her through the undersea wonderland she plays tag with the blue striped snappers, dances with jellyfish, and naps in the arms of an octopus far, far away from the safety of her clam shell. Yet when the fun is over, she must return home. Can the ocean guardians help her find her way back home to her mom?
