A true and heartwarming story of friendship between a man and a penguin, unlike anything seen before: now a film starring Steve Coogan. Tom Michell travels to South America, explores Uruguay, and then takes a job as a teacher at a boarding school in Argentina. He's looking for a grand adventure. What he doesn't expect is a penguin who will change his life. When Tom Michell finds a penguin with oil-soaked feathers on a Uruguayan beach and decides to take it home to clean the oil, he has no idea that the waddling creature will not only turn his life completely upside down. Michell decides to take the penguin back to Argentina and names it Juan Salvador: 'I prayed that the penguin would survive. I had given it a name in that moment, and with that name began a close bond that would last a lifetime.' A penguin moves onto Tom Michell's terrace. He becomes a loyal friend to the teacher and a trusted penguin to his students. Penguins are not only incredibly cute, but also excellent listeners... A heartwarming, bittersweet memoir and a gift for everyone who always goes to the penguins first at the zoo, and for all fans of Lassie, Flipper and Bob. New product
