Bookroo's summary

Penguin meets Penelope, a young elephant separated from her herd. As they journey together, their bond deepens, and they uncover a shared ability to fly. This newfound perspective offers a path home for Penelope, but their friendship ensures they won't be apart for long. Join them in a heartwarming tale of unlikely friendships and self-discovery.

From the publisher

Geisel Honor-winning author/illustrator Salina Yoon reintroduces readers to a beloved character and a delightful new character in this 10th Anniversary year. The magic of friendship connects us. When Penguin finds a new friend, Penelope, he does everything he can to help. Let’s get you home, says Penguin. But the elephant herd is out of reach, across a too-big ravine, Penguin stays with the little elephant, keeping her company and looking for a way home. As they go, Penelope grows, and so does their friendship! Soon they learn what they have in common–how they both can fly –and their new perspective brings a way home for Penelope. But they won’t part for long! Salina Yoon’s spare text and bright, energetic illustrations bring to life this endearing story celebrating unlikely friendships, the challenges of growing up, and finding your own way.
