Augustine

(4) K-3 Penguin Augustine is nervous about her family's move to the North Pole, and her narration amounts to what adults believe children in her circumstance are feeling ("I wish I could turn back time and be in the South Pole with my friends"). The satisfying acrylic and pencil–crayon art features just-for-those-in-the-know winks, including anxious Augustine's self-portrait as Edvard Munch's famous screamer.
