In the sunny Florida Keys, where the skies are always blue, the waters calm, and the breezes warm, lives a tiny Key deer named Winnie McKee. At just a foot tall, she may be small, but her heart is as big as the ocean. Through her adventure, Winnie shows that size does not matter when it comes to having a big heart and making a difference in the Florida Keys.
One day, while Winnie was munching on leaves at the Key Deer Refuge in Big Pine, two distressed manatees approached her. They were searching for their lost friend, Marty the Manatee. It turns out Marty had wandered off on an adventure of his own and was in trouble.
Determined to help, Winnie embarks on a quest through the Florida Keys to find Marty and reunite him with his worried family. She meets some quirky and helpful friends along the way, from Armand the pie-loving rooster in Key West to a friendly hawk on Seven Mile Bridge, and even a pair of dolphins in Marathon. With their assistance, Winnie tracks down Marty and prevents a dangerous situation.
But Winnie's adventure does not end there. In Islamorada, she discovers some newly hatched baby sea turtles who are disoriented by porch lights. With Marty's help, they guide the little sea turtles back to the safety of the ocean.
In this adventure, Winnie McKee faces multiple challenges that she overcomes with the help of her Florida Key friends. They save Marty the Manatee and also some baby sea turtles, demonstrating how we can protect our precious wildlife by working together. Winnie McKee also sees how her tiny size does not reflect her brave heart. Together, the friends then celebrate their successful rescue with a slice of Key lime pie in the heart of Mallory Square, where the sunsets are as sweet as their victory. "Friends in the Keys are the best indeed!"
