Moving all the way from the South Pole to the North Pole isn't easy for
the young penguin Augustine. Uprooted from her home, she misses her
friends, her grandma and grandpa and her old bedroom. There are all
kinds of unfamiliar faces at the North Pole, and everything looks
strange and different. When it's time to go to her new school, Augustine
gets cold feet. But with the help of a few colored pencils and some
inspiration from Picasso, this shy, artistic young penguin discovers a
way to break the ice with her classmates and feel at home on the other
end of the world.Augustine's penguinized versions of van Gogh, Munch,
Picasso and others are a delightful way to introduce children to art. A
clever, charming story told from a penguin's eye view, Augustine
illustrates that art is all around us --- and it is a language everyone
understands.
