Under Sprinkle Shoal, Juno puffed her cheeks tight. She had set herself a serious little challenge: ride the frothy birthday wave all the way to the shell bell without giggling. The wave smelled like vanilla salt, and balloons bobbed above it with squeaky strings. “No laughs,” Juno mumbled, though her party hat already wobbled.
Up she slid, swish-swoosh, past star confetti and curly ribbons. The wave bounced like a soft pillow. Juno’s smile tried to sneak out. Then—plop!—the foam opened little round mouths and sang, “Happy splash-day to the baker!”
Juno burst into giggles so big the balloons danced. She had not been riding a plain wave at all; she was the candle carrier for the sea bakery’s surprise party. Next time you see her wobbly hat and frosting wave, can you spot where the giggle first escaped?
