In this charming picture book, a caretaker arrives by red helicopter to meet over a hundred lively and playful penguins.
At first, the penguins and caretaker misunderstand each other, treating each other warily. But once the caretaker starts to play a melodica, they begin to connect. As the melody fills the air, their friendship gradually blossoms.
One day, out of childlike curiosity, the penguins steal the melodica and take it into the ocean. Without the melodica, both the penguins and the caretaker grow anxious, worried that they have hurt each other’s feelings. Yet, they find a way to transcend language barriers and discover new ways to communicate love and care.
This playful, exuberantly illustrated book has international appeal, celebrating the bonds of connection across species and showing that friendship can thrive even without words.
