A little more about this book
Klein Pikkewyn watches the birds flying overhead and desperately wants to join them. He tries and tries, without much success, until a tumble into the water helps him discover something wonderful: penguins have their own way of flying.
Helpful when
Your child is working through frustration, comparing what they can do with others, building perseverance or learning to appreciate the things that make them different.
How to use at home
A lovely one to read when "I can't" is making regular appearances. Rather than jumping straight to reassurance, talk about what Pikkewyn tried, what didn't work and what he eventually discovered he could do.
Recommended age
Early years (2-4 years) en Preschool (4-6 years)
