About Plume

Plume is not your typical Antarctic penguin. Sporting a bright yellow plume on the top of his head, Plume is bored of black and white, of shuffling around and snoozing on icebergs. He craves colour, adventure, excitement! Plume's great hope is to grow the hearts and minds of his penguin friends. 

You too can travel the world with the Plume series, including Plume World Explorer and Plume Global Nibbler. And don't miss Plume's latest adventures in Plume Festival Seeker, out October 2022.
