📣🐧 WE NEED YOUR HELP, BOOK FAMILY! 🐧📣

It’s been a little quiet here on our socials (we’ve missed you!), but we’ve been busy behind the scenes… and guess what? We have a new team member joining us at Window on the World — a very dapper little penguin! 🐧📚💙

He’s already waddled into our hearts, but now he needs something very important…

👉 A NAME! 🙌 🙌

This is where you come in:
Drop your name suggestions below in the comments 👇

Something fun, clever, bookish, or uniquely Tassie-inspired!

Let’s give our penguin pal a name that suits his book-loving, adventure-seeking, story-sharing spirit. 🐧✨

We’ll be picking a shortlist and putting it to a community vote soon!

Let the naming begin…

📖❄️🐧
