Polar Bear Island by Lindsay Bonilla
When Kirby, a fun-loving penguin, arrives on Polar Bear Island, she shakes things up-much to the dismay of Parker, the mayor.
Will Parker learn to see how great it is to make new friends? Or will he chase Kirby away . . . forever?
Welcome to Polar Bear Island. NO OTHERS ALLOWED! Parker is the mayor of this peaceful, predictable island, and he wants to keep it just the way it is. But Kirby, a penguin, thinks the place is paradise, and she wants to stay. Parker says no, but the other polar bears love Kirby -and soon they're begging Parker to let Kirby (and her family) move in. Will Parker agree . . . and make the island fun for EVERYONE?
With its gentle message of inclusivity, this playful and lighthearted story will delight children.
