Penguins with People Problems: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Penguins with People Problems" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Stress-eating after a breakup?
Frustrated by the cost of a good cocktail?
Stymied by the weirdness of abstract art?
These penguins share your pain.


The random penguins are a lineup of quirky, lovable weirdos with minds of their own. They understand the agony of social awkwardness, the power of the perfect smoky eye, and the arm- (or wing)-flapping terror of having a bee in the car. In fact, these winged characters get into the same sticky situations we all do. They are Penguins with People Problems.
So meet your favorite new flightless friends. Theyre brutally honest (except when theyre lying), comically insecure, and totally relatable.

To Matt Damon, as always.

Hello Please have a penguin If youre saying to yourself Good heavens - photo 4

Hello. Please, have a penguin.

If youre saying to yourself, Good heavens, Wanda, these birds look like they were finger-painted by a four-year-old, you are correct, Wanda. They do. Im no artist.

Im just a writer. Thats what I do for a living. The other thing I do for a living is read bookswhich is why I happened to be paying attention when Penguin Books and Random House announced their merger a few years ago. Like pretty much everyone else, I thought Random Penguin would be a great name for the new company. Unlike everyone else, I started doodling and captioning penguins doing random things and couldnt stop. Thus, The Random Penguins Tumblr was born.

The birds took on a life of their own once I started posting them online. They made a lot of friends in a short time, perhaps because they are rather people-ish. They make mistakes. They do stupid things. Just like people, they sometimes try (and usually fail) to hide their insecurities. And like even the most flawed people, theyre lovable in spite ofor because ofall that. Well, most of them are. Some of them are real dirtbags.

A few of them are me. Are any of them you?

Enjoy,
Mary Laura
