Poppy the
Penguin comes from a long line of circus performers. Many skills have been
passed down from penguin to penguin. However, Poppy soon decides that
performing in the family circus is not for her, as she prefers to feel calm and
in control. But the hardest thing is not juggling, or riding a unicycle--it's
telling her mum that she doesn't want to perform any more. Her bravery is worth
it when Poppy discovers a better role--organizing and coordinating the whole
show. And what a show it turns out to be! This tale of overcoming shyness and
lack of confidence is both a funny and sensitive parody of the record-breaking
movie The Greatest Showman,
and a celebration of girl power!
Poppy is the cutest littlest penguin in her show family. They perform at the circus but Poppy really just wants quiet. She doesn't want to perform anymore but after taking a break decides she loves everything about the show, just not performing in it. Sooooo she goes about creating the greatest show from the behind the scenes making it the best ever. Now she can still be with her family and do all the things she loves without getting out in front of the crowd.
We can all overcome the obstacles that stop us from having happy, successful lives by reimagining our lives.
My class loved this book and the cute illustrations. It has become a classroom favorite.
