Peanut the Penguin
CREATIVE CHILD 2022 BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD WINNER
“ A cleverly plotted story … a RED RIBBON WINNER and highly recommended !”
- The Wishing Shelf Book Awards .
This 3-time award-winning new classic , Peanut the Penguin , has all the good feels of a heartwarming story that parents are discovering and that kids want to read repeatedly .
The story of this young penguin aims to bring out the empathetic side of early readers and younger listeners . Kids 3 to 8 connect with the plight of little Peanut who seeks to share his unique and wonderful gift for singing , but who is met with the disapproval of the colony ’ s older penguins because he only sings at night , while they try to sleep .
Debut author , Aruna M . Lepore has successfully re-entered the old classic era of story-telling with this full tale , accompanied with her very own vibrantly hand-painted , full-page illustrations . Both the storyline and the illustrations continue to receive 5-star reviews .
Along with evoking a sense of empathy , this easy-to-follow story demonstrates important life lessons -determination , belief in oneself , family love , and respect for one another - all crucial for kids to develop healthy attitudes within themselves and for each other .
“ An impressively original , entirely entertaining and very highly recommended picture book for children ages 4-8 …” - The Midwest Book Review .
