Blue Penguin

By Petr Horáček

In the South Pole, a blue penguin was born. The other penguins don’t know what to think of him. They ask him, “Are you a real penguin?” The blue penguin says, “I feel like a penguin.” The blue penguin could do what other penguins could do but maybe not as well. The other penguins wondered off and left him alone. He was so lonely he began to dream and he starts to sing. Will he ever convince the other penguins he is one of them? This is a wonderful story of friendship and our differences, and how we can overcome them.
