Description
A curious boy finds a penguin at his doorstep and, determined to help, sets off on an earnest journey that takes him far beyond home—straight toward the South Pole. Along the way, he encounters the vastness of the world and the limits of his own assumptions, learning that “lost” isn’t always what it seems. With Oliver Jeffers’ signature blend of playful storytelling and striking, minimalist illustrations, this tale explores themes of empathy, perspective, and the difference between solving a problem and understanding it. Ultimately, the adventure turns into a gentle, surprising reflection on care, communication, and the stories we tell ourselves.
