“As a bit of an anxious penguin myself, the name Zenguin just waddled into my head while I was playing around with words. I realized I had to write this book for the little version of me—the girl who really could have used a friend like this when she was struggling with anxiety. In such a loud, busy world, I truly hope this story becomes a tool to help kids (and us grown-ups, too!) find a bit of inner peace.” —Danna Smith
