Augustine - Tapa blanda

See below for English description.

Augustine est un manchot poss?dant un grand sens artistique, dont les parents d?cident de d?m?nager du p?le Sud au p?le Nord. Elle est tr's nerveuse ? l'id?e de rencontrer ses nouveaux camarades de classe et ne se doute pas que son talent pour le dessin va l'aider ? briser la glace. Des illustrations ?voquant des peintres c?l?bres abondent tout au long du livre.

Moving all the way from the South Pole to the North Pole isn't easy for the young penguin Augustine. Uprooted from her home, she misses her friends, her grandma and grandpa and her old bedroom. There are all kinds of unfamiliar faces at the North Pole, and everything looks strange and different. When it's time to go to her new school, Augustine gets cold feet. But with the help of a few colored pencils and some inspiration from Picasso, this shy, artistic young penguin discovers a way to break the ice with her classmates and feel at home on the other end of the world.
