@elizabetheverett.bsky.social Thank you for the post on our new book. Much appreciated!
Did you know that puffins ...

-lose their coloring during winter?
-live at sea until they are old enough to lay their own eggs?

Learn all this and more in this entertaining and educational picture book!

Thank you to the publisher @groundwoodbooks.bsky.social for sharing this book with us.

Karen Reczuch and I are thrilled and honoured to have our book chosen to be part of Dolly Parton's Imagination Library – a wonderful free-gifting program devoted to inspiring a love of reading for young children.

Note the Dolly Parton circular label on the bottom right. Very exciting!
