About the book:
World-renowned artist and picture book creator Oliver Jeffers returns with Boy and Penguin and brings to life an endearing story about the magic of friendship and joy in this highly anticipated new adventure!
Once there was a boy who would often play hide-and-seek with his friends the star and the penguin. The star was always easy to find, but one day it went missing. So, the boy radioed the Martian for help, and soon found himself on an exciting spaceship rescue mission to the North Pole! But there, he discovered that he wasn’t the only one who had always dreamed of having a star as a friend . . . The out-of-this-world, long-awaited sequel to the much-loved Boy stories, loved all around the world—now introducing a brand-new character!
