Learn about mindfulness and calm with the help of ZENGUIN!

From New York Times bestselling illustrator Sydney Hanson and Danna Smith comes a sweet and calming picture book that helps instill life skills in young readers with basic, age-appropriate concept learning.

Penguin is anxious amidst the hustle and bustle of his busy colony. He wishes to feel calm inside, but he doesn't know how! Thankfully, a few of his Antarctica friends teach him their strategies for finding inner peace. Before long, Penguin can use his own zen techniques to handle a stressful situation, earning him his new name--Zenguin!

"A gentle, calming story that shows young readers different ways to stay peaceful in a noisy world." --School Library Journal
