"This heartwarming picture book tells the true story of Joô Pereira de Souza, who found a Magellanic penguin covered in oil and starving near his home on an island off the coast of Rio de Janeiro. Joô spent a week cleaning the creature's tarred feathers and feeding him a daily diet of fish before taking him back to the sea to let him go. But the penguin wouldn't leave! He stayed with Joô for eleven months until finally disappearing. Now, every June, Dindim returns to de Souza's home by the sea and stays until February -- and every year he becomes more affectionate and appears even happier to see his human friend."-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

This book is adorable! I love little stories about friendship! It's important to be nice and friendly with one another, and especially help those in need! This story focuses on that trait and does a great job of it. Joao takes care of his little penguin friends and gets him back on his feet.
To add to this amazing story, it's also real! Joao lives in Rio de Janeiro and actually helped nurse a penguin back to health. There is also information on how wildlife is being affected by some of our toxic human activities, so you can add some educational material to this book or just read it as a cute story.
I really like this book and I think it is excellent. I'd highly recommend it to young readers looking for a pretty book with a great story! Especially if they love animals and penguins!
The art style is soft, full of colour and unique. It makes this story super adorable and easy to follow, and will hook you to the page.
Four out of five stars.
Thank you to NetGalley and Kids Can Press for providing me a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.
