The book started out as a family weekend project, putting together a story on Gentoo Penguin childhood using pictures taken during a week's visit to the breeding grounds of penguins around Bransfield Strait, Antarctica. During that visit, the weather was unusually favorable - no storms, no fog, no indication whatever that these parts of the world offer some of the nastiest weather imaginable. Thus, conditions for taking photos were ideal. The story emerged readily enough, based on observation, but there were requests for various additions and explanations, especially with regard to the leopard seal and other potentially threatening large animals. The appropriate illustrations were created using Adobe Photoshop.
