About This Book
Reach for this book when your child returns from a new experience, like summer camp or a hobby group, and feels like they no longer fit in with their old friends. It is a perfect choice for the child who has discovered a unique passion and worries that being different means they might lose their place in the circle. Penguin has learned to fly with eagles, but when he returns to the South Pole, his penguin friends cannot relate to his new skills. Through charming illustrations and a gentle narrative, the story explores the tension between individual growth and group belonging. It is ideal for children ages 4 to 8 who are navigating the social complexities of evolving interests and finding a way to stay connected to loved ones while remaining true to their own 'inner song.'
