Booktalk: Just in time for World Penguin Day on April 25, a new picture book where readers will discover how Emperor penguins, birds that “never, ever fly”, have amazing adaptations to waddle, sled, huddle, dive, swim, leap, and snuggle their chicks to survive in the frozen world of Antarctica.

Snippet: Diving and watching underwater videos helped scientists discover that penguins use air bubbles around their bodies to speed up and out of the ocean, back onto the sea ice.
