Bookroo's summary
Patrick, a penguin, wakes up one day to find himself bright pink. Teased and feeling out of place, he sets off to Africa to join the flamingos. But fitting in isn't easy there either. Unable to stand on one leg or fly, Patrick returns home to a warm welcome. His friends, now envious of his adventure, realize that being different is pretty cool. Will Patrick embrace his unique hue and find where he truly belongs?
From the publisher
When Patrick wakes up one day to find he has inexplicably turned bright pink, he sees red: Whoever heard of a pink penguin? he cries. And boys can’t be pink! After too much teasing, he’s had enough. I don’t fit in here anymore, he tells his parents. I’m going to Africa to see the flamingos. But poor Patrick doesn’t fit in with them, either: He can’t stand on one leg, skim the water for food, or fly off with the rest of the flock. So he returns home–and everyone is happy to see him! In fact, his friends are green with envy over his exotic trip. Ends up being hot pink is pretty cool!
