  • Baker & Taylor
    Rejected by his fellow penguins because of his unusual color, minimal diving, and jumping skills, Blue Penguin begins to sing in his loneliness and wonders if he will be able to convince the others that he is one of them.
  • Baker & Taylor
    Rejected by his fellow penguins because of his unusual color and minimal diving and jumping skills, a little blue penguin begins to sing in his loneliness and wonders if he will be able to convince the others that he is one of them. By the creator of Strawberries Are Red.
  • Random House, Inc.
    A moving fable about friendship and belonging from award-winning illustrator Petr Horácek.

    Far away, near the South Pole, a blue penguin is born. It is not something you see every day. “I feel like a penguin,” says Blue Penguin. “But you’re not like us,” the others tell him. Blue Penguin can’t jump or dive very well, so the others wander off and leave him behind. In his loneliness, Blue Penguin begins to dream, and he starts to sing. Will he ever convince the other penguins that he is one of them? Beautifully illustrated in icy blue hues, Blue Penguin is an affecting ode to self-expression and connection by a picture book creator whom the Washington Post has called “the thinking tot’s Eric Carle.”
