"I feel just like a penguin," says Blue Penguin. "But you're not like us," said the other penguins and they left him all alone., Poor Blue Penguin. Will he be able to convince the other penguins he is one of them after all? A moving and beautifully illustrated story from Petr Horacek, an illustrator described by the Washington Post as "the thinking tot's Eric Carle". Far, far away in the southernmost tip of the earth, a blue penguin is born. He dives like a penguin, swims like a penguin and catches fish like a penguin. Then one evening Blue Penguin turned to Little Penguin. "It's time we sing a new song," he said. "I will teach you."Word expert Susie Dent has searched far and wide to uncover 100 happy and uplifting words for her new book Roots of Happiness. Here are eight of our favourite words from this collection. Now we start the problems. One of them is this whale Blue Penguin starts dreaming about. Another is how he turns into a sad little dramatic emo boy. Group acceptance within the story hinges on seeing how someone is the same rather than different. I wish the other penguins would have decided to accept Blue Penguin because they realized the error of their ways rather — perhaps through Blue Penguin’s relationship with Little Penguin — than because they discovered he had a special ability. Nevertheless, his finally being embraced by his group was heartwarming. Every night the penguin would dream about a big whale coming to take him away from his lonely place. In the morning he would sing a song to the whale. Then another little penguin heard him sing and over time she made friends with the penguin. Then the other penguins heard his songs, and they wanted to be his friends too.
