Mum and Dad won’t feed me.
And I’m hungry!
They keep running away into the cold water where I can’t get to them.
Why are they doing that?
The first thing that Chicky, a Gentoo penguin, must do-before he can learn how to swim and feed himself-is to get into the ocean.
After chasing his parents all around the beach and falling on his beak, will hungry Chicky figure out that he must gather his courage and bravely step into the icy sea?
Based on real behaviours observed in Antarctica, the beautiful 20 watercolour images illustrate the fictional narrative of this courageous step towards independence.
Suitable for ages 3-7. Teachers notes and companion colouring-in book are also available.
The profits from the sale of this book will be donated to the Antarctica Science Foundation supporting research into understanding, valuing and protecting these delightful animals.
