Astaire's Warm Day

Stephen Luk

Astaire's Warm Day is a story for toddlers and early readers. The main character, Astaire Penguin, finds that he is different from all the other Antarctic penguins – he fears the cold.
   
   Tired of constantly shivering, Astaire decides to take matters into his own flippers. Through his sheer perseverance to find a warm place, he embarks on a quirky adventure filled with ups and downs. In the end, Astaire navigates the frigid landscape to find the greatest warmth of all.
   
   The goal of this book is to teach children to be kind to others, to overcome adversity, to achieve big dreams through hard work, and to never forget where you come from.
