Todd, The Flying Penguin

About this book

All the other penguins laugh at Todd's obsession with flying and think he is very odd. Undaunted, the resourceful young penguin devises a plan and finds a kindred spirit in Daisy. Together, they build a glider and Todd finally gets his wish to fly. In the process, Todd and his flying machine save the other penguins from a terrible fate. Now, they no longer laugh at Todd, or his crazy ideas.This charming tale is set against a backdrop of stunning skies, and drifting icebergs. The rhythm and verse of the story lends itself to reading aloud and will also appeal to early readers. Anyone who has ever had trouble fitting in, or been bullied for being different, will relate to these two charming penguins ⁠- the creative and determined Todd, and Daisy, a confident, plucky little penguin who befriends him and helps turn his crazy dream into a reality.
