For Little Pip, the baby penguin, home is a pebbly nest on the cold Antarctic shore. Mum and Dad always remind Pip not to wander far, and she never does... until one day a black, glittery feather leads Pip on a chase far, far from home.

As she tries to find her way back to her parents, Pip encounters lots of friendly animals - a mighty blue whale, a gull, and even a sled dog. But while these animals know where their home is, they don't know where Pip's is. Will she ever get home?
