What is Penguin's Progress about?

Otto, the first penguin chick born this year in Antarctica, is tasked with caring for the younger chicks. As he navigates the icy world, Otto faces challenges like learning to swim, dive, and catch fish, all while wondering what 'growing up' truly means. With no adults available to guide him, Otto embarks on a journey of self-discovery, finding his own way in the vast, snowy expanse.
