PICTURE BOOKS
Wild, Margaret

Puffling

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Julie Vivas. As Puffling grows and yearns to explore, his puffin parents assess his readiness ("When you are strong enough and tall enough and brave enough, you'll leave the burrow all by yourself"). The text conveys a sense of warmth and love (and a wee bit of melancholy). Beautifully textured, simply composed pastel and watercolor-pencil illustrations stretch across the double-page spreads.
