Two friends become true friends! A tender look at friendships and how being different can have its rewards, from one of the most exciting new talents to emerge on the picture book scene in recent years. Gregory the gull and Hudson the penguin are the best of friends. When Gregory learns to fly, Hudson feels left out. But when Gregory gets into trouble, it’s Hudson who comes to his rescue, discovering he also has a wonderful skill.
