"March of the Penguins"




















Synopsis: "While many people think of penguins as comical birds
who look like they've been decked out in tuxedos, the truth is they're among
the strongest and most resilient creatures in the animal kingdom. And they
have to be -- each year, the emperor penguins of Antarctica travel through
the most punishing environment on Earth to their nesting grounds,
and after the females lay their eggs, the males keep them warm
while their mates walk 70 miles back to the sea to fatten themselves
with fish for themselves and their young.

Filmmaker Luc Jacquet spent over a year braving the frigid temperatures
of the South Pole to film this annual ritual of the penguins..."

*Bing, movie review.

This penguin ( the second figure in our photo series)
was crocheted by Jenn for her Montessori student.

May this icon inspire strength and resilience!
