Penguins?

Everybody knows penguins ... don't they?

The penguins are coming and there is great excitement at the zoo. But what’s a penguin? The animals don’t quite know what to expect - but they all have an opinion, each more outlandish than the last. When the truth about penguins is finally revealed, everyone is in for a surprise!

My debut picture book, The Truth About Penguins is a zany romp that plays with the fine line between fact and fiction in the animal world.

The detailed, expressive illustrations by Mark Jackson will have children searching each page for added fun.
