Book Description
When a tiny emperor penguin hatches in the Antarctic, she's surprised that her protective father is nowhere to be found! So the brave little bird sets out on a quest to find him--sliding on icy ridges, slipping around snowy rises, and waddling across frozen bridges. Along the way she meets Antarctic animals of all shapes and sizes, asking each one, "Are you my dad?" But the answer is always no. At last, the little penguin spies a strange something climbing out of the sea... Could the search for her lost dad finally be over? About the Author: Leslie Kelley can often be found relaxing in a King County library near Seattle, perusing the children's book section and giggling at the funny stories and pictures. When she's not acting like a child, she's either writing, designing, playing with color, walking her little dog Kermit, or boating with her family on Lake Washington. A graphic designer and color consultant by trade, Are You My Dad? is Leslie's first published children's book, and certainly not her last. About the Illustrator: A published children's book author himself, lifelong Washington state resident Kirk Werner considers himself to be, first and foremost, an illustrator as drawing has always been his first passion and is something that he began doing well before he ever learned to read or write as a child, and creating visual art (as both an illustrator and graphic designer) is something he has continued to do in his adult life because it brings him great satisfaction--without the stress associated with being a writer and worrying about such weighty matters as run-on sentences.
