Periwinkle's Journey — Judy Petersen-Fleming; Judy Spafford

It's spring in Australia when Periwinkle, a little blue penguin, begins her journey to Antarctica where she'll meet all of her penguin cousins. Along the way she learns a lot about her world and herself. The smallest penguin of all, Periwinkle is not only shorter than her cousins, but she is also blue and most importantly-different from the rest. Hesitant at first, Periwinkle learns during her journey to be brave and realizes that it's not how you look on the outside, but it's what's inside that matters.
Periwinkle's Journey is the first book in an entirely new series of endearing characters from Suzy's World. Featuring the work of beloved illustrator Suzy Spafford, creator of Suzy's Zoo, and author Judy Petersen-Fleming, these books and characters are dedicated to educating kids in a fun and whimsical way about animals in the wild, inspiring all of us to care more about the animal kingdom and the natural world we share.
