Journey south of the equator to the cold-water currents of South<br />
America, Africa, Australia, and Antarctica, where seventeen<br />
different types of penguins reside.<br />
An early explorer wrote, “We came across a multitude of<br />
strange birds. They could not fly, but ran quickly enough to get<br />
away from us…. Nature appears to have endowed them with great<br />
agility: they are wonderful swimmers.”<br />
In Seasons of the Penguin, critically acclaimed biologist and<br />
wildlife educator Evelyne Daigle, brings readers an in-depth view<br />
into the fascinating environment of these exquisite birds. The<br />
riveting text coupled with detailed illustrations by well-known,<br />
wildlife illustrator Daniel Grenier, will capture readers<br />
everywhere as they take “flight” into the land and underwater<br />
world of penguins.<br />
Did you know?<br />

• The colony provides protection from predators<br />
• The young in a penguin colony form a nursery, or crèches,<br />
leaving both parents free to fish together<br />

After observing penguins in captivity for almost twelve years, EVELYNE<br />
DAIGLE was given an opportunity to study them more closely through a<br />
joint project of Students on Ice and the Montréal Biodôme. Aboard an<br />
icebreaker in the company of both scientists and students, the author<br />
gathered written and visual information on penguins and the<br />
fascinating world in which they live. Inspiration was plentiful. By<br />
adding to the existing knowledge base, this expedition to the end of the<br />
world will benefit the Biodôme team and visitors alike. Evelyne Daigle<br />
lives in Quebec, where she has been a biologist and scientific<br />
interpreter at the Montréal Biodôme since 1992.<br />
