Biographical Note:

Maria Gianferrari is a proud bird-nerd who is thrilled to have seen Atlantic Puffins and other sea birds at Eastern Egg Rock Island. She's the author of these bird-y books: You and the Bowerbird and Hawk Rising, both published by Roaring Brook Press, as well as Whoo-Ku Haiku. She loves backyard birding from her kitchen window perch in Massachusetts, though she lives too far from the sea to see puffins.

Maris Wicks is a writer and illustrator of science comics, as well as a self-proclaimed gigantic nerd. She has written, drawn, and colored comics for First Second Books, New England Aquarium, and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, as well as Spongebob Comics, Marvel Comics, and DC Comics.

Publisher Marketing:

Follow a young puffling's life from hatching to adulthood and learn about the bustling and precarious world of Atlantic Puffin City in this imaginative nonfiction picture book.

On the edge of the sea,
There is a nesting island as loud as a city,
Where two puffins mate, burrow, and lay their egg.

They splash into the ocean
And dodge nearby predators,
Searching everywhere to find food for their hungry puffling.

Follow one adorable puffling as she eats, grows, and learns how to survive on her busy, bustling island in this thrilling and action-packed nonfiction tale.
