Meet
Pengi
If you see Beatrix, Pengi is sure to be nearby
Pengi is a small stuffed penguin who is 4 years old, his favorite colour is yellow, and his favorite food is tuna. Pengi has been with Beatrix for as long as she can remember, he has been an fashion model, a pirate hunter, a prince, a knight, an artist, a rock star, and a best friend. Together they've explored arctic tundras across ice rinks, created fast food resturaunts that had lines miles long, dressed up as a slug, a merman, a king, and many more, embarked on brave voyages to the beach, British Columbia, Algonquin, Antarctica, Mexico, and beyond. Pengi has lived in a igloo, a desk, a tiger themed bedroom, toronto, and Hamilton, he sits at every family dinner, has his own tissue box bedroom, and has top marks in stuffie school. “Pengi is my best friend.” says Beatrix.
Beatrix wanted to share that love with the world. So she learned linocut printing — carving a design into a block and pressing it onto fabric by hand. She carved Pengi herself, one careful cut at a time.
Beatrix and her best friend Pengi work hard every day to share that love with the world
