Poles Apart

"Poles Apart" by Jeanne Willis tells the delightful and humorous tale of a family of penguins who, through an accidental wrong turn, find themselves far from their familiar South Pole home and instead land squarely in the North Pole, the domain of polar bears. This picture book playfully explores themes of being different, adapting to new environments, and the surprising friendships that can form across seemingly vast divides. It's a gentle story that encourages empathy and open-mindedness, showing how even creatures from "poles apart" can find common ground and understanding. Perfect for sparking conversations about welcoming newcomers and embracing differences.

"Everybody knows that penguins live at the South Pole and polar bears live at the North Pole. But what would happen if, one day, an adventurous family of penguins took a wrong turn and ended up at the North Pole?"--Back cover.
