The Puffin's Pen Pal

Pippa the puffin lives on a rocky island where the wind smells of salt and the waves sing all day. With her bright orange beak, blue-grey stripe, little red scarf, and tiny canvas satchel for treasures, she spends her mornings watching the ocean and dreaming of finding something wonderful. One breezy afternoon, a wooden box carved with tiny stars bobs onto the shore, and inside Pippa discovers a letter from Archie, an albatross who lives on a windy cliff across the sea. Thus begins a pen-pal friendship carried by migrating seabirds, as the two exchange drawings, stories, and details of their daily lives.

As the letters travel back and forth, Pippa and Archie learn about each other's worlds—tide pools and puffin parades on Pippa's island, soaring over big waves and counting stars on Archie's cliff. Each letter makes the distance feel smaller, and they decide to meet on a tiny island halfway between their homes. But Pippa worries: the ocean is big, and she is small. Can she make such a journey? The story follows her brave paddling across the water, guided by seabirds, and Archie's patient waiting on the tiny island, until their joyful reunion.
