Glimo is a little penguin sitting on the shelf of a bustling toy shop, waiting for the day someone special takes him home. But how do you get noticed when you're surrounded by flashy toys and towering teddy bears?
Through smell, touch, sight, hearing, and taste, Glimo discovers that the secret to standing out isn't being the loudest — it's being the most determined. A humorous and engaging picture book that teaches children about the five senses while reminding readers of all ages about the power of perseverance.

"Bought this for my niece and honestly shed a tear at the ending. It's funny, sweet, and teaches persistence without being preachy."
