In 2011, Dindim the Magellanic penguin, washed up on an island
beach near Rio de Janeiro. He was rescued by a man called Joao, who
nursed him back to health, and created a lifelong bond. Since then,
Dindim has spent most of every year with Joao, leaving only to
travel 8000 miles to the Patagonia coasts of Argentina and Chile.
Where the Heart Is was inspired by this extraordinary true story.
With beautiful prose and stunning illustrations, Dindim's story
will capture the hearts of young readers and adults alike. His
journey across the ocean highlights both the little penguin's
intrepid nature and the variety of wildlife he meets along the way.
From whales to albatross, children will discover the kaleidoscope
of life that exists in the ocean. Where the Heart Is also offers a
window into discussing big issues with young readers, such as the
oil spill that almost killed Dindim, and the effects of climate
change on animal habitats. Magellanic penguins are a near
threatened species, and it is vitally important to increase our
awareness of the dangers faced by these beautiful birds. Poignant,
moving, funny and heartfelt, Dindim and Joao's story is a
celebration of friendship and nature. It explores the deep bond
that can form between humans and animals, and encourages children
to think more about the incredible animals who share our world.
