Bookroo's summary

Little Pip, a curious penguin, chases a glittery feather and finds herself far from her Antarctic nest. Meeting a whale, a gull, and a sled dog, she learns they can't guide her home. In despair, Pip sings a familiar song, hoping it will lead her parents to her. Will her voice be enough to reunite them?

From the publisher

For Little Pip, the baby penguin, home is a pebbly nest on the cold Antartic shore. Mama and Papa always reminds Pip not to wander far, and she never does…until one day a black, glittery feather leads Pip on a chase far, far from home. As she tries to find her way back to her parents, Pip encounters some friendly animals, a mighty blue whale, a gull, and even a sled dog. But while these animals know where their home is, they do not know where Pip’s home is. In her sadness, Pip begins to sing a song about home that her parents taught her, and the sound of her voice guides her parents straight to her!
