Bookroo's summary

Augustine, a young penguin, moves from the South Pole to the North Pole, leaving everything familiar behind. Overwhelmed by new faces and places, she hesitates to attend her new school. Armed with colored pencils and inspired by Picasso, Augustine finds a creative way to connect with her classmates. Can art help her feel at home in this strange land?

From the publisher

Moving all the way from the South Pole to the North Pole isn’t easy for the young penguin Augustine. Uprooted from her home, she misses her friends, her grandma and grandpa and her old bedroom. There are all kinds of unfamiliar faces at the North Pole, and everything looks strange and different. When it’s time to go to her new school, Augustine gets cold feet. But with the help of a few colored pencils and some inspiration from Picasso, this shy, artistic young penguin discovers a way to break the ice with her classmates and feel at home on the other end of the world.
