Description
"This heartwarming picture book tells the true story of Jo�ao Pereira de Souza, who found a Magellanic penguin covered in oil and starving near his home on an island off the coast of Rio de Janeiro. Jo�ao spent a week cleaning the creature's tarred feathers and feeding him a daily diet of fish before taking him back to the sea to let him go. But the penguin wouldn't leave! He stayed with Jo�ao for eleven months until finally disappearing. Now, every June, Dindim returns to de Souza's home by the sea and stays until February--and every year he becomes more affectionate and appears even happier to see his human friend"--,Provided by publisher.
