Polly's Dream (2012 YACK GOLD MEDAL WINNER)

By Grace Cousins

Polly is a creative little penguin who lives at the South Pole with her mama and papa. When she is not outdoors exploring, she can be found in her bedroom creating. Her desk is covered with jars of pens and pencils. At night she lies in her comfy sea green bed and looks out her window and stares at the stars and dreams of adventures far away.
One day she ventures out!
