What it is

Every year a great big polar bear is chosen to light up the Northern Lights. This year, the special job falls to Lumi, but there's a small problem, he’s not a polar bear at all. He’s just One Tiny Penguin! So now Lumi must gather all his courage to travel the world, venturing out from the North Pole, to Chile, South Africa - and all the way to the South Pole.

Can the new friends Lumi makes along the way help him find out what it means to be a brave penguin and light up the sky?

A heart-warming adventure that’s full of laughs, One Tiny Penguin will have you tapping your toes and flapping your flippers! Perfect for everyone aged 3 and up.
