Yet singer/songwriter Peter Yarrow and co-composer Lenny Lipton have never allowed a picture book adaptation of this magical taleuntil now. With Yarrows and Liptons blessing, Puff, Jackie Paper, and the land of Honalee finally live on the page.

This is a publishing event sure to attract broad attention and please Puffs many fans.In richly-hued paintings of the deepest sea blues and greens, Puff and his friend Jackie Paper frolic in the land of Honalee-traveling in a fantastic boat with billowed sails, climbing red castle stairs onto a balcony to meet with noble kings and princes, and watching pirate ships lower their flags for the roaring dragon. Artist Eric Puybaret has brought an entire magical world into being with enthralling landscapes, color, and characters. And everyone will love the way the art cleverly turns the songs end, which at first seemed so sad, into a surprising and joyful moment.
