Polar Bear Island by Lindsay Bonilla

Welcome to Polar Bear Island. No Others Allowed! So says Parker, the mayor, eager to keep the island just the way it is. But Kirby, a newly arrived penguin, is shaking things up-much to Parker's dismay. The other polar bears love Kirby and beg Parker to let Kirby (and her family) move in. Will Parker agree . . . and make the island fun for Everyone? With its gentle message of inclusivity, this energetic story is a splash.
