A heartwarming picture book about discovering your own talent.
Today is Penguin’s very first day at school, where he meets all kinds of birds—each with their own special talent. Some can fly high, others run fast, dance beautifully, or sing wonderfully. Penguin isn’t sure what he’s good at… until he dares to try the water. With a little encouragement, he dives in—and discovers he is the best underwater swimmer of them all.

‘Penguin’s First Day at School’ shows Zanon that you don’t have to be good at everything or be able to do everything. After all, you go to school to learn; eventually you will become better at something, but everyone does this in their own way and at their own pace. The story is further enhanced by the beautiful illustrations drawn by Zanon himself. The bright use of color makes it enjoyable even for the youngest readers to follow along.
