The Trouble with Penguins


“On the day the penguin discovered the person, everything changed.” 

When a wandering penguin meets a child roasting marshmallows, the new friendship brings joy and smiles. But when the penguin tries to share this new experience with its penguin pals, things get out of control.

”Naturally, the other penguins wanted to roast marshmallows by the fire, too, which was wonderful…until it wasn’t.”

Can the penguins learn to balance individual desires with community goals? Of course they can!

The knowing, parental voice keeps the story warm at the core, while the fanciful polar landscape is brought to life in bold brushstrokes, fluffy textures, and splashes of aurora-like color.
