Penguin's Hidden Talent



A clever, empowering story about finding out what your special skill is.

Penguin would love to take part in the BIG ANNUAL TALENT SHOW.
But he just can't seem to find his special talent. He tries magic tricks and juggling household appliances - even burping the alphabet... But nothing seems quite right.
Can his friends help him discover what he's really good at?

This is an even-funnier follow-up to the brilliant Boy Who Cried Ninja. Alex Latimer has created another beautiful, atmospheric world that you long to visit and return to.
