"A book to love on every level "
Award-winning artist/author Chris Haughton perfectly captures the anxiety Little Penguin feels when mum goes off fishing for his dinner. And the pride he feels when she bravely comes back having overcome all kinds of obstacles with a big fish for the family to share.
Chris Haughton’s strikingly coloured and delightfully boldly drawn Little Penguin is a character that appeals to all readers and his plight – anxiety about his mum being away even though he is being safely looked after by his dad – will touch a chord with everyone. A book to love on every level – and it may be helpful, too.
