It has won several awards including the American Library Association Notable Children’s Book, ASPCA Henry Bergh Children’s Book Award, Gustavus Myers Outstanding Book Award, Nick Jr. This enjoyable story about the meaning of family has become a huge hit and a favorite of children and adults. The 32-page illustrated book also includes an author’s note which provides more information about Roy, Silo, Tango, and other chinstrap penguins. The dedicated and enthusiastic fathers do a great job of hatching their funny and adorable daughter, and the three can still be seen at the zoo to this day.

Roy and Silo, two male penguins, are “a little bit different.” They cuddle and share a nest like the other penguin couples but when the others started hatching eggs, they bring an egg-shaped rock back to their nest and proceed to start caring for it.Īs one might expect, they have no luck that is, until a watchful zookeeper decides they deserve a chance at having their own family and gives them an egg in need of nurturing. The story is based on true events about a couple of chinstrap penguins living in New York City’s Central Park Zoo. The fact that a chance meeting would put the two of them in that LSU parking lot at that particular time is legendary.And Tango Makes Three is a children’s book (ages 4-8) written in 2005 by Justin Richardson, an Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychiatry in New York, and Peter Parnell, a playwright ( The Cider House Rules). It’s crazy to think both Peterson and Jefferson could be on the trajectory towards Hall of Fame careers.

And now, he’s arguably the best receiver in the league. He went on to become a Second-team All-SEC receiver, a national champion and the No. Jefferson grew up to become an LSU Tiger, and he did everything he said he was going to do to Peterson in that parking lot. “I remember him telling me all the time he’s going to make these same catches that he was making in the … parking lot at (LSU’s) Tiger Stadium, that he did.” “He was really good,” said Peterson, via the Pioneer Press’ Chris Tomasson. The big dreams have been apparent since day one for Jefferson, who made a prediction to Peterson during their throwing sessions.

That kid was Minnesota Vikings All-Pro receiver Justin Jefferson. It was nearly 12 years ago that Patrick Peterson was throwing passes to an 11-year-old kid in the parking lot of LSU’s Tiger Stadium, never knowing that kid would grow up one day to become his NFL teammate.
