The story is about a girl named Putul who lives in a fishing village by the Ganga in Bengal. During a monsoon, two dolphins swim into Putul's house through her window. Putul saves the dolphins from being killed by her father by leading them back into the river. However, the strong currents threaten to sweep her away. The dolphins follow her into the river and save her from drowning.
The book highlights the relationship between people and nature, and the moral that we should not harm wild animals. It also portrays the poverty of the fishing village and the fury of the monsoon. The book is illustrated by Proiti Roy and is also available in Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada.
