One Day on Our Blue Planet... in the Antarctic

This follow-up to 2015’s One Day on Our Blue Planet... in the Savannah spends a day with an Adélie penguin chick that has just reached the age when she can swim in the Antarctic Ocean: “She cannot fly, but in the water she is as swift and as graceful as any bird in the sky.” Working in a frosty pastel palette, Bailey shows the penguin traveling in search of food, snacking on krill and squid, while avoiding a predatory sea lion. Bailey’s crisp, posterlike images evoke midcentury children’s books while capturing a sense of polar magic in watery spreads full of orcas, petrels, seals, and other creatures. Ages 3–7. (Apr.)
