iar stick, a cheeky and clever emperor penguin must embrace opportunity, stand up to a challenge, and learn a new skill to achieve his dream of escaping the zoo and returning home to Antarctica. But will luck, ingenuity, and hard work be enough?

Right in the puddle

beneath his own feet

was a reflection of a penguin

so handsome and sweet...

He thought to himself -

"How hard could it be

to paint a penguin as

handsome as me?"

In this enchanting children's book, author and illustrator Kristina Caizley perfectly captures the transformative power of believing in yourself. This whimsically illustrated rhyming picture book teaches little ones that learning a new skill takes hard work, but if you keep trying your best, anything is possible.

Themes: Creativity, learning a new skill, perseverance, and believing in yourself.
