Posy and Percy are best friends, but it does not mean they are the same. In fact, Percy is brave, while Posy is afraid of snowstorms, heights, loud noises and, above all, the dark. When Percy does not come back home after playing on an iceberg slippery slide, Posy knows something went wrong. She jumps into the sea, follows Percy’s footprints on the iceberg and enters a very scary cave just to find her friend. Percy, who is grateful for her help, tells her that she is the bravest penguin of all not only for rescuing him but also for acting in spite of her fear. A heart-warming story with cute pictures and a great moral, this book will definitely appeal to young readers. There is a support page with presentation suggestions and follow-up activities. Children will really enjoy painting the iceberg and snowflakes, as well as making paper penguins to role-play the story.
