Description

Wait

Wait wait wait. 

Wait through the darkness
And the cold. 
And the darkness. 
And the long winter months
And the darkness. 

Wait, stay put, and guard what may very well be more important than anything else you have ever partaken in. 
Guard it with your life. 

It is only fair really 

She waited long enough before you. 
For that precious egg to hatch. 
For you to come back. 

Hasn’t she waited enough?
Doesn't she deserve a break? 
Isn’t she allowed to eat too?

Of course she is. 

So wait. 
Wait through the cold and the darkness 

Hope for her to come back
That she isn’t killed by some leopard seal. 
Or something like that. 
Dooming all three of you. 

No. 

Hope for her return. 
And wait.

Such a brave and dedicated penguin dad!
Awesome story and illustration, the pink and blue ice is beautiful against the pitch black sky.
