Sea Friends and Selfies by Erin Edwards tells the story of Willa, the olive ridley sea turtle, who faces an environmental crisis. The beach where she was born—and the place her own sea turtles will hatch—is now filled with rubbish.

Determined to make the beach a clean environment for her hatchlings, Willa enlists the help of her sea friends. These include the octopus, the grey whale, the humpback whale, the spinner dolphin, the orca, the elephant seal, the blue marlin, the leatherback turtle, the amberjack, the blacktip shark, and the scalloped hammerhead shark.

Together, they come up with a creative solution to clean up the coastline, ensuring a safe and pristine habitat for future generations.
