Illustrator Udayana Lugo’s latest work, No Huddles for Heloise (Orca $21.95) follows the story of Heloise the penguin, who enjoys sledding, giving rocks to friends and eating fish popsicles, while disliking crowds, close-talkers and huddles. However, huddling is essential for penguins to stay warm and avoid leopard seals. Seeking others like her, Heloise encounters unfriendly animals and has a close call with a leopard seal. Through colorful illustrations, the story concludes after Heloise returns to her community after realizing its importance. But can she figure out how to be a penguin and fulfil her need for personal space at the same time? Written by Deborah Kerbel. 9781459839106
