NOTES
Told in rhyming verse, this is the touching true story of an oil-soaked penguin, the man who rescues him and an unlikely friendship. Joao hears "a sorry screech" as he walks along the shore near his home. It's from a penguin, whose feathers are soaked in oil. Barely moving on the sand, too tired to swim, too weak to stand... Joao must save this little guy. Without his help, he'll surely die. Joao takes the penguin home
