About the book

In this incredible true story of an unlikely friendship, an oil-soaked penguin is rescued by a man, who finds him on a beach. He feeds him and nurses him back to health and a special bond is formed. When the penguin is fully recovered, Joao knows it's time to return him to the wild where he belongs. But the penguin has other ideas... A charming read-aloud by Julie Abery showcasing a tender relationship between an animal and human, this book also touches on environmental awareness. Award-winning Pierre Pratt's rich palette brings a touching sweetness and emotional depth to the story.
