Penguin Bloom will star Naomi Watts (The Book of Henry), who optioned the book alongside Reese Witherspoon and Bruna Papandrea.
The book, which was published in the United States in April as Penguin the Magpie, is the story of a little magpie chick named Penguin who changes the life of a family.
Penguin Bloom all begins when Sam, Cameron Bloom’s wife, suffers a near fatal fall that leaves her paralyzed and deeply depressed.
Shaun Grant (Berlin Syndrome) has signed on to adapt the Australian book “Penguin Bloom” as a feature, according to Deadline.
