Story about a lonely, little penguin who can't make friends with the other penguins because he is different (he's blue). He didn't realise at the time but his black colour had rolled off the table so he didn't have penguin colour and used blue instead. Lovely story about a penguin who feels different from everyone else and how the kindness of one of the penguins makes him feel included and less lonely. He has brought to the Penguin Classics list many new titles from around the world―in translations from Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, French, German, Swedish, Russian, Turkish, Persian, and Arabic—as well as new editions of American classics by F.She is a board member for the Academy of American Poets and an advisory board member of Kundiman, a national organization dedicated to Asian American creative writing. Despite the fact that he does the same penguin things as everyone else in his colony, he is still an outcast. Too melancholy and random, and unremarkable in the diverse field of children's penguin/friendship tales in my opinion.

His singing wins over the other penguins too and when the whale does arrive, she finds the little penguin surrounded by friends. Then the other penguins join them and become the blue penguin’s friends too, feeling bad for how they excluded the blue penguin before.And that having to make new friends is just a natural part of childhood and you just have to keep at it. The pictures are cluttered and funky, the story line is just sad to begin with, then jacked up at the end.
