Synopsis

Pockets is a likeable penguin, but she doesn't fit in. She doesn't speak, everything is too loud, and she looks different. She doesn't have the Emperor orange stripe along her beak, and she was born with pockets on her belly. She gets by with headphones and things she keeps in her pockets. But it is not until she discovers icePads, that she finds her voice and a way to fit into the penguin community.

POCKETS is a story about acceptance. It is written hoping children grades K-2 will understand that differences are okay, and people can be appreciated for who they uniquely are.
