When Papa Penguin goes fishing, Little Penguin must stay at home. At first, he is sad but soon he realises that he must be brave because there are many imaginary adventures to be had. There are icicle mountains to guard, buried treasures to find and rough seas to sail, but at the end of the day, as the sun starts to set, Papa returns home to his Little Penguin. This is an endearing story about love, separation and bravery.
