		Where is Home, Little Pip? Coming Fall 2008 Margaret K. McElderry imprint of Simon and Schuster • Illustrator Jane Chapman Introducing a New Jane Chapman Collaboration! Little Pip is a baby Emperor penguin. Pip spends her days playing at home, in a cozy pebbly nest. Mama and Papa gently warn Pip not to wander, but what when Pip sees a glittery, black feather floating on a gust of cold air, temptation proves too great. Pip follows, and Pip gets lost. She encounters other Antarctic residents—a mighty blue whale, a kelp gull, and even visiting sled dogs. She approaches each creature and inquires where home is. But they all describe their own homes, and Pip grows more disoriented than ever. Will Pip find her way home? Join along as Pip discovers that “home” is much more than a destination. Other titles to follow include, Don’t Be Afraid, Little Pip and Little Pip and the Egg. Do you like the Bear books or Mortimer’s Christmas Manger? If so, Little Pip is a series you should not miss. I can’t wait to show you glimpses of Jane’s wondrous art!
