Sacrifices of penguin parents

Beautiful book for sharing. Outstanding illustrations by Alan Marks. it is a story of love, family and sacrifice. It can be related with our own parents.

Penguin Tale

If you liked the movie "March of the Penguins" then you'll like this book as well. It tells of the journey a young mother Emperor penguin has to undertake in order to feed her young. The illustrator has done an excellent job of capturing th realism of the penguins.

Grandparents Delight

Reading a book together is a great way to share a special time with a grandchild. But when a grandchild enjoys the book enough to ask for it again, then you're sharing a memory--a book you can remember loving together. A Mother's Journey is one of those books. I've now also given it as gifts to my friends who are grandparents. DON'T MISS IT!
