"Inspired by the true story of two penguins who took a liking to a local sushi shop. What better place for a penguin to waddle across the road than to a local sushi shop, lured by the smell of delicious seafood? In July 2019, a little blue penguin (kororā) was removed twice (the second time with a friend!) from beneath a sushi store near the main railway station in Wellington and returned to a nesting box on the waterfront. Their adventure provided the inspiration for Linda Jane Keegan's humorous story"--Publisher information.
