- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Cute story about Hiku, a young penguin.
He dreads the arrival of his entire family, so he hides in his special place to enjoy some peace and quiet. But then he start remembering all the fun he used to have with his family and regrets his decision to stay by himself.
He joins them just in time for a group photo.
Pretty illustrations, the penguins are wobbly things, so funny. Younger children will have a ball perusing their actions on paper.
A book that is meant to have kids appreciate the arrival of their relatives for the holidays, on birthdays or other special occasions. No matter how distressing the experience might be, there is good in it.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Story: 2 stars. I hate to leave uncomplimentary reviews, but I just didn't like the story. It was trite and clunky and I even spotted some grammatical errors. A little more editing would have greatly improved it.
Illustrations: 4 stars. The illustrations were great! Super creatively rendered in a collage style and kid-friendly. It was fun to play hide and seek on every spread and try to spot Hiku.
