"Will The Penguin" is a truly endearing and multi-level story. It is at once a coming-of-age children's tale and a lesson in environmental education.

In his travels, the penguin, Will, encounters the harsh reality of dwindling icebergs and the effect of mankind on his natural world. "Will The Penguin" is the perfect combination of fact and fantasy.

Follow Will on his exciting journey as he learns what it is to be a penguin, and what it is to be brave. Siddharth Patil's first book is both dark and delightful. It will enlighten, entertain, and engage the reader in the magic of the natural Antarctic realms.
