I live in a very big city, Buenos Aires. I have been drawing all my life, ever since I was a child as I didn’t have a TV. I enjoy most of all drawing comic strips and picturing myself and my kids in the illustrations that I create.

My name is Jane and I live in a beautiful Spanish city, Madrid. I’m an English author of children’s books. I’ve always loved creating stories and songs for children. The best ideas come to me while… I’m jogging!
Come on an Antarctic adventure! Some Emperor Penguins cannot get to the place where they go every year to lay their eggs. Will Uncle Jack be able to help them? In this hilarious story you will learn something about the habits of the Emperor Penguins and follow Uncle Jack and the others in their race against time to help the penguins to the place where they lay their eggs.

ncle Jack sat in an armchair with May and Daisy and looked at a book about Emperor Penguins. ‘Every year the penguins walk many kilometres to the place where they lay their eggs,’ read Uncle Jack. The book was by Uncle Peter. Uncle Peter was Uncle Jack’s brother and he loved penguins! The phone started to ring. Jim went to pick it up.

‘Hello. Who is it?’ he asked. It was Uncle Peter! He was at the Antarctic so it wasn’t easy to understand him! ‘COME AT ONCE,’ shouted Uncle Peter, ‘THERE’S A PROBLEM! BRING THE SNOW MAKING MACHINE!’
3
‘We want to come too,’ said May and Daisy and Jim. ‘O.K.’ said Uncle Jack, ‘but put on your warmest clothes. It’s very cold in the Antarctic!’ The children quickly put on their warmest sweaters and coats and scarves and hats. Of course Grumpy the dog put on his sweater too! Where the children went Grumpy went too!

Uncle Jack gave the snow making machine to Jim and Jim put it into the balloon. ‘What a funny machine!’ said May, laughing. ‘Is it a fan?’ ‘No,’ said Uncle Jack, ‘it’s a snow making machine.’

The children liked going in Uncle Jack’s balloon. ‘Oh,’ said Daisy, ‘there’s a jungle!’ ‘And a mountain,’ said May, pointing to a high mountain with snow on the top. ‘And an island in the sea,’ said Jim. Uncle Jack pointed in front of them. ‘There’s the Antarctic. We’re nearly there!’
