A puffin who is upset that he's constantly mistaken for a penguin learns the important lesson that it only takes one person to make things better when you're feeling alone, angry, or misunderstood.

“Look at the funny little penguin!” and “What a silly-looking penguin!” Hearing this all day long is enough to make any little bird angry, especially when he’s NOT A PENGUIN!

This is the story of a puffin who is upset that he’s constantly mistaken for a penguin. He finally reaches his breaking point and goes on a rant about the many differences between the two. A little girl stops him in mid-speech because she does know the differences, and he listens as she explains to her father why puffins are her favorite.

This charming picture book with 18 fun, colorful spreads is from acclaimed children's author and illustrator Timothy Young.

Key Lessons:

When you are feeling alone and misunderstood, sometimes it only takes the understanding of one small person to turn things around.
This book shows children what frustration and feeling alone looks like from the outside, how to get over anger, and how to reach out to others when they are frustrated.
Many fun facts about puffins and penguins!
