Comment:
By telling the story of a school-age penguin who turns pink overnight and feels that he no longer fits in, this is a book about diversity and self-acceptance. What makes the story particularly effective is that Patrick remains true to himself: when he returns home, he discovers that he was missed by his classmates and his parents and he’s no longer teased for his diversity.
