About this book

On the icy coast of Antarctica, an emperor penguin mother places her egg on the cold ground and begins the long wait for it to hatch. When the chick finally breaks out of the shell, it faces freezing temperatures and must stay warm while its parents travel far to find food. Using instinct and the protection of the group, the chick learns to huddle, move, and grow in one of the world's harshest places. The story follows the chick's early days as it fights to survive in the extreme Antarctic environment.
