The Land Puffin

by

<p><i>Pete was an unusual parrot. <br/> He wanted to be a puffin. <br/> So he decided to leave town, and head for the coast.</i> </p> <p>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? </p> <p>A charming story from the critically acclaimed author-illustrator behind <i>The Puffin Problem</i> and <i>Mallard, Mallard, Moose</i>, featuring folk art–inspired illustrations, <i>The Land Puffin</i> is a good-humoured yarn with a subtle message about the importance of celebrating our differences.</p>

Maurice the Moose

by

<p>Maurice the Moose is lonely. So lonely, in fact, that when one day, he is attracted to the call of what he thinks is another moose. He runs far and wide to respond to the call only to find that instead of another friendly moose, it is the call of a moose hunter that has attracted him. Luckily, another moose has answered the call and scares away the hunter. And, most importantly, the Maurice makes a new friend. <i>Maurice the Moose</i> is about making friends in unlikely circumstances as well as the strong bond that is formed when thrown together.</p> <p>Lorne Elliott has performed from Newfoundland to New York City, from Los Angeles to Australia and points in between. Lorne started performing in 1974 as a folk musician in East Coast Canada. At the same time he kept writing fiction as well as songs, monologues and one-liners. The outcome of such a training is a very special show of comedy and music, totally original, entertaining, foolish and uplifting. Along with his unique performance style it is the timelessness of his material, joined with keen observations on today’s trends that make Lorne Elliott’s work so special. He is the author of <i>Beach Reading</i> and a novella <i>The Fixer Upper</i>. This is his first picture book.</p>
