Simmy, is sent to live with his father on the West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand. He finds himself in a quiet rural place, devoid of technology. There is no internet and no mobile phone coverage! How will he survive away from his mum, his friends and the city life he is accustomed to? It takes a while to get used to living in such a remote and isolated place. He is forced to pick up a pen and write letters home to his mum to communicate his frustration and loneliness. When he realises she is ill and cannot respond, he knows he has to be brave. It is the korora, little blue penguins who capture his attention and change the way he sees the world.

"When I wrote the first draft, I was living on the Coast Road, West Coast, in a little blue cottage which was built in the rocks very close to the sea. The waves would sometimes go right under the cottage. The penguins were nesting in the rocks close by. I got to know their comings and goings It was the place this story began."
