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!"

This charming book from Japanese illustrator Rurutea features 300 charming illustrations of Koupen-chan and friends enjoying the simple joys in life and showing up for one another with a hug and an encouraging word.

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 supportive 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 humor 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.
