Illustrated by
Kevin Sylvester.
This graphic novel follows Puffin on his adventures moving to a new city and a new school. He struggles to make friends but eventually wins over the other birds when his glowing beak saves the school play. The story is full of bird puns, but the focus is learning to be yourself. The illustrations use a distinct color palette, show each bird’s personality, and are well integrated into the storytelling.
