Silly Lila Francoise Callier

The world of penguins is magical!
They live in colonies, sometimes they are thousands.
Lila's story is happening in South Georgia, a small island, just above the Antarctic continent, which is almost totally covered with ice.
The penguins live in perfect harmony with nature, the landscapes are magnificent.
During the winter, life is very hard, it's freezing.

Lila is a mischievous little penguin girl. She loves to attract attention. The best way is to do silly things. All the children know that. One day Lila disappears, all the penguins are trying to help to find her.

With this book, kids who usually love penguins, can learn a lot about their way of life and their habits.

INTRODUCTION

Seen from the sky, penguins are tiny--no larger than ants.

Françoise Callier sees them on a different scale, and gives them personalities.

Today, their territory is threatened. The Antarctic ice cap appears to be melting because of global warming. For Lila and her friends to survive, the Earth must remain beautiful and clean.

The penguins know this, and so do we.
