Book to Film Club (Penguin Bloom)

This month we'll be watching the film Penguin Bloom (TV-14, 95 minutes) on our own through Netflix and having a discussion about the book and film over Zoom. The film is based on the book Penguin the Magpie: The Odd Little Bird Who Saved a Family by Cameron Bloom and Bradley Trevor Greive. The audiobook is always available on Libby. The e-book and book are also available to check out. If you would like to participate, please sign up for the event and you will be sent the Zoom meeting details. *If you would like to watch the film but don't have access to Netflix, please contact Dan Compton. 

Synopsis: Samantha Bloom breaks her back in an accident and is paralysed from the chest down. A year later, her children bring home an injured magpie they have found. She cautiously approaches the magpie and begins to get acquainted with the new family member.
