Amazon Description
Edna the penguin only knows the three colors that surround her: white ice, black night, and blue sea. She is convinced there is something more out there. So she sets out on a quest—a quest for color. When she finally finds what she's been looking for, it's everything she hoped for and more. But that doesn't mean she will ever stop looking.
One Potato Review
Smart but simple - not an easy combination. This book is perfect for younger readers, who will appreciate the uncomplicated sentences and striking palate, but there’s a compelling story here also, about the little iconoclast who cannot help dreaming about different colors, and stumbles upon something so spectacularly foreign it’s even a little spiritual in its larger implications. Who were those guys? Experts on global warming, or a film crew studying the penguins’ every move? With crowd-pleasing souvenir gortex that is every bit a tribute to serendipity.
