Publisher's Synopsis

Lila, a young king penguin girl, has two loving parents, Mr. and Mrs. King Penguin. Lila is living in South Georgia, she's going to Antarctica to visit some cousins, the emperor penguins. "LiILA on ICE" is illustrated with dazzling Photoshop montages of penguins in South Georgia and Antarctica. Callier also teaches as she entertains, presenting different kinds of penguins, and slyly incorporating facts amidst the adorable fiction. We learn that baby penguin chicks can drown because they don't have feathers yet, only soft down, that there is a lot of love in a penguin family, that, as they are all the same, penguins recognize one another by their voice, the animal species living in Antarctica....

With this book, kids who usually love penguins, can learn a lot about their way of life, their habits and their environment.

Introduction by Yann Arthus-Bertrand - Photographer and Author of "The Earth from Above."

"Seen from the sky, penguins are tiny--no larger than ants.

Françoise Callier sees them on a different scale, and gives them personalities.

Today, their territory is threatened. The Antarctic ice cap appears to be melting because of global warming. For Lila and her friends to survive, the Earth must remain beautiful and clean.

The penguins know this, and so do we."
