NOW A MAJOR NETFLIX MOTION PICTURE starring Naomi Watts – the No.1 International Bestseller – a life-affirming true story of how a magpie chick helped one family overcome tragedy.
They saved a little bird . . .
And in return she saved them too
After a near-fatal fall left Sam Bloom paralysed, no one – not her husband Cameron, nor their three boys – could reach her in the darkest days of her struggle. But everything changed when a new member of the family unexpectedly landed in their lives: an injured magpie chick abandoned after she fell from her nest, whom they named Penguin Bloom.
Powerful and tender, Penguin Bloom is a beautifully written account of how compassion, friendship and family can come from unexpected places.
More about
the book
Cameron Bloom, his wife Sam and their three boys were a normal family – until a near-fatal fall left Sam paralysed and sunk into a deep depression. But in the darkest days of Sam’s struggle a new and unexpected member of the family came into their lives – an injured magpie chick abandoned after she fell from her nest, who became known as Penguin Bloom.
The Blooms rescued Penguin, and in return she saved them in ways they could not have imagined; through the newest and most feathery addition to the family, Sam found a new joy and strength.
Penguin Bloom is a story of how compassion, friendship and support can come from unexpected quarters. This plucky little magpie reminds us all that, no matter how lost, fragile or damaged we feel, accepting the love of others and loving them in return will help to make us whole.
