Bird & Squirrel On Ice (Bird & Squirrel, #2)

By James Burks

This is a quirky and fun graphic novel where Bird and Squirrel crash land at the South Pole. They meet a spear-wielding penguin named Sakari who believes that Bird is the Chosen One. Legend has spoken of a flying bird who will bring peace and prosperity to their penguin village, currently under threat by the Great Whale. Despite Squirrel’s insistence that his friend is just a normal bird, Bird plays into the villagers’ newfound hope and relishes in the attention.
