When Pete the parrot looks back on his seafaring family history-- including his grandmother, Polly Pirate, and his grandfather, Paul Privateer-- he decides to leave his cozy city home in search of the rugged puffin life on the coast. The puffins are friendly and welcome Pete with fish-- which he doesn't like to eat-- and a swim in the ocean-- which he doesn't like to do-- and they seem to do little more than sit on the rocks all day and night-- which doesn't interest him. Worst of all, they don't seem to have much to say. Can Pete really live like a puffin, or is he just too different? A charming story from the critically acclaimed author-illustrator behind The Puffin Problem and Mallard, Mallard, Moose, featuring folk art-inspired illustrations, The Land Puffin is a good-humoured yarn told in traditional Newfoundland style with a subtle message about the importance of celebrating our differences.
