Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Its a long way from Elephant Island to Icetown,

but good friends will travel great distances to visit one another. 

And so Elephant leaves home to see his penguin penpals

Elephant has helped them build a hotel, and there will be a party

in his honor. In Icetown, things dont go as planned.

In fact, they dont go smoothly at all.  But just like friends will travel far across the sea to be with one another,

good friends will also always help to make things right. A story of friendship, a story of travel and global community, Come Back Soon will cheer anyone who has ever made a mistake and been forgiven.

I informally reviewed this book just prior to completion, and can highly recommend it without even seeing the finished copy. The illustration is amazingly detailed, and the story very original and fun. I'll be getting my copy next time I'm at Powell's.
