Pink!

What’s a penguin to think when he wakes up PINK?

Patrick wakes up one day to find he’s turned pink overnight. But boys can’t be pink! Feeling teased and left out, poor Patrick runs away in search of pink playmates. He crosses the ocean where he finds some pink flamingos — but will he fit in with them any better?

Patrick soon learns that friendship is never black and white, but that real friends will accept you just as you are.
