This story is a day in the life of B Polite, a penguin that lives at the South Pole, a cold place that is warm and friendly due to a kind way of life. The penguins that live there get their names from the pole-lights or the "Polites." B is a nickname for Bentley.

The story is written so children may connect with B Polite and see that kind actions are not about the rules, but rather about respecting oneself first, enabling respect for others.

It is a sweet story of the benefits of building confidence through a foundation of manners early in life and shows that using manners is a desirable way to a happy life
