When Dilly is born, her parents think she is perfect – from the top of her head to the bottom of her foot. The other babies notice that Dilly is different but soon accept her and love her different ways of doing things. The adults aren't sure though - they love how all the penguins are the same. Can the younger generation convince their parents that there's space for Dilly? And maybe that positive change can be a good thing?
A charming and touching story – Dilly is a delightful character with a strong voice and a great tale of acceptance and change.
