Rosie The Penguin Teaching Kids it's OK to be Different

Rosie is a two year old penguin in Arizona, using what makes her unique to help others.

Rosie is inspiring others at the OdySea Aquarium in Scottsdale, Arizona. Rosie was born with skeletal abnormalities that weakened her body. So her caregivers at the aquarium built a special sling to help her learn to walk.

"We knew very early in Rosie's development that she was a little different," one zoo worker told a room full of kids. "Has anybody in this group ever felt different? I know I have." Rosie's caregivers say her sweet shuffle is used to teach kids that "different" really means "awesome."

Watch as these kids meet Rosie and talk about the experience.
