A Penguin Family . . . Finding Joy
Written by Janet Kassalen, Illustrated by Laura Yoder, 48 pages
“Janet Kassalen’s, A Penguin Family . . . Finding Joy is a fast moving story that will warm the hearts of readers of any age. Squieky the penguin can make a noise like his name — “Sque…ee…eeeak!” but cannot manage to say his first words. Filled with fascinating characters like Suzzie, Squieky’s kind cousin, and Papa Mike and Mama Janilyn, A Penquin Family . . . Finding Joy follows the antics of adventurous young penguins and the feathered friends around them. This charming narrative also goes the distance to show patient parents helping their child deal with a disability. Young readers will enjoy making Mama Janilyn’s famous South Polar Fishy Soup, as the recipe is included in this engaging book!”
