Penguin Journey - Hardcover
by Angela Burke Kunkel (Author), Catherine Odell (Illustrator)
Penguin Journey is a lyrical picture book exploration of emperor penguins' incredible journey to parenthood, with stunning watercolor art.
Packed Snow / Moon glowWind-blown / All alone This young picture book is about the incredible lengths to which emperor penguins go for their young ones. Angela Burke Kunkel's lyrical text and Catherine Odell's gorgeous illustrations detail the penguins' amazing journey, and an author's note and bibliography provide added context. "Perfect for group storytime and discussion . . . The familiar black and white of emperor penguins contrast well with the scenes of rich winter blues of Antarctic ice, sea, and sky and, later, the warm pastels of the spring skies as time passes, the temperatures warm, and the penguin family unit basks in their success." --Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)
