Synopsis

A heart-warming fable about a friendship and belonging from the award-winning illustrator Petr Horacek.

A heart-warming fable about a friendship and belonging from the award-winning illustrator Petr Horacek. "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".

À propos de l?auteur

Petr Horacek is a Czech born illustrator who studied for six years at the Academy of Fine Art in Prague before become a graphic designer, painter and author-illustrator. Now living in England, he made his publishing debut with "Strawberries Are Red" and "What is Black and White?" Working in a mixture of media, he loves to explore the bookmaking process with a style that is both bold and naïve, and full of startling colour. His other books include "When the Moon Smiled", a bedtime counting book, and "A New House for Mouse", about a tiny mouse who comes across a large apple. Kitty Flynn, writing in Horn Book, commented that Horácek's "color-rich, heavily textured watercolor and cut-paper collages add much to the simple story," making A New House for Mouse a book that will "quickly satisfy story-hour cravings."
