Let Japan's positive penguin brighten your day!

Everyone needs a little help to get through the day and who better to provide it than Koupen-chan, the adorable baby penguin who has stolen Japan's heart! Did you cook a meal, show up for work, or just get out of bed in the morning? Koupen-chan is here to say, 'You are amazing!'

Each page has an uplifting message such as:

Great job taking it easy!
You ate breakfast! I'm proud of you!
Getting stuff done on a Saturday? You're amazing.
Doing things the usual way is good enough.
Fantastic job studying! I'm cheering for you!

Koupen-chan's cute friends include Adelie, a tough-talking penguin who likes to cook; Evil Enaga, a cute bird plotting to take over the world; and Polar Bear, who is always ready to share a wise lesson. They bring gentle humour to the book, reminding us that life can be complicated and challenging but also deeply fulfilling when you accept yourself as you are.

Koupen-chan & You combines kawaii Japanese cute culture with sage advice. It will appeal to Koupen-chan's many fans as well as anyone who needs a little love and encouragement.
