Aotearoa NZ Bookshop Day

The Personal Penguin 2026 figurine is perfect for book lovers and a charming addition to the previous figurines. Celebrating the power of books and reading, this Personal Penguin represents the way stories can shape our lives, bring us together and inspire a lifelong love of reading.

The figurine will be available exclusively with the purchase of any two Penguin books from participating stores on Bookshop Day – Saturday 10 October.

Aotearoa NZ Bookshop Day, run by the Booksellers Association, is a day to celebrate our local bookshops and the integral role they play in our community. From personalised book recommendations to hosting a wide range of literary events, our local bookshops make an incredible impact on every reader.
