With his vibrant, stylish art and spot-on visual storytelling, Chris
Haughton turns to Antarctica for an irresistible ode to family bonds and
awesome moms.
"She'll be back soon, won't she?"
"She sure will," says Daddy Penguin.
The sky may be dark over icy waters, but Mommy Penguin is off to catch
some fish for dinner. As Daddy and Little Penguin watch in suspense,
Mommy swims, jumps, and climbs up a slippery slope, barely avoiding a
plunge back into the sea. Well done! There's just one more hurdle to
overcome, past some grumpy, just-awakened seals, before she returns to
her anxiously waiting family. With a nod to the fascinating nature of
penguin parenting, this boldly illustrated adventure from the creator of
Little Owl Lost and Oh No, George! will have little ones happily on
the edge of their seats as they root for Mommy Penguin.
