After a whole lot of searching (and a little bit of running for their lives), the two decide they're sick of looking and would rather have lunch alone. But they quickly realize it's the people (or the penguins) you're with who make a place perfect.
From award-winning cartoonist and bookmaker Liam Francis Walsh comes a hilarious comics-inspired book that explores the magic of compromise and celebrates the joy of exploring the outdoors with the people you love.
