Puffel Meets a Narwhal is the sequel to the earlier Puffel book, written by Sr. M. Gianna Casino, LIHM. In her children’s books, she is always teaching some kind of life value to kids. In this book, the lesson that I took away from it is that there is more to things than meets the eye.

The story begins with Puffel and his friends gathered around a campfire, where a frightening story about a narwhal leaves Puffel scared. Later, when Puffel has his own encounter with a narwhal, he discovers that the creature is actually friendly and caring. When Puffel tells Mama and Papa about his encounter, they help him through it and use it as a teaching moment. Mama tells him, “Other animals may look different from us on the outside. What matters is what’s on the inside.” Papa helps Puffel see how many things have more beneath the surface than meets the eye. For example, the tip of an iceberg has a much larger iceberg underneath the water.

Puffel is a beautifully illustrated children’s book. It has wonderful colors that really make it engaging and visually appealing. At its heart, it tells the story of Puffel, a puffin who sees penguins having fun and doing things that he cannot do. He longs to do the same things and says, “Oh, Mama, I want to be a penguin.”

Mama helps Puffel see that he is unique and beautiful, and that he himself can do things the penguins cannot do. Ultimately, what matters most is the love in one’s heart. Puffel learns from his mama and papa that his uniqueness is itself a gift, and we see that when Puffel celebrates his gifts, the penguins themselves are impressed as well.
