Newbery Medal-winning author Cynthia Rylant and Caldecott
Honor-winning, bestselling illustrator Christian Robinson pair up to
tell this wintry story about five little penguins enjoying a snowy
day.
Snowflakes? Many snowflakes. Winter is coming. So begins this
ever-so-simple story. As the snow starts to fall, the excited penguins
pull out scarves, mittens, heavy socks, and boots, and Mama helps them
bundle up. But when it's time to go out, one timid penguin decides to
stay home. Filled with waddling baby penguins, playful text, and
delightful illustrations, this book feels like a young picture-book
classic in the making.
"Visually stunning. . . . Pair with Ezra Jack Keats's classic The
Snowy Day." --Booklist, Starred
"An excellent tale for the very young. A very warm and satisfying
bedtime book and a paean to penguins and winter delights." --Kirkus
