About this title

Review

Puff has appeared to me both childlike and wise, a king but also a willing follower of just about any bright spirit that inspired him. Puff gives his whole heart and soul to one special friend One day, as you can see at the end of this book, a new and special friend comes to Honalee In this way Puff and Jackie s friendship continues through new children like you.

--Peter Yarrow
