Adelie penguins are very loud. And even though Albert's an Adelie, too, it hurts his ears! He also gets uncomfortable with how close the penguins in his colony group together. Sometimes, he gets so upset he flaps his wings hard and squawks angrily at his friends. Can Albert learn how to soothe himself when the world is too loud? Young readers will love the amazing photography that inspires this delightful story told in verse. It's a perfect read-aloud for teaching social-emotional learning concepts like self-soothing and managing sensory overload.
