Yaffle the seagull is fed up with the rain, drizzle, and fog in his home province of Newfoundland. He dreams of flying down south to the sunshine, but saddens at the thought of leaving all that he loves behind. So, one day Yaffle comes up with a surprising plan he thinks will solve his dilemma!
A graphic artist for 25 years, Nancy Keating's evocative illustrations have covered several Newfoundland books for adults and children.
"The illustrations in the book, done entirely in coloured pencil, are vivid, evocative and extremely detailed, down to the patches on Yaffle's backpack to the Tilt House Bakery gingerbread cookies he shares with his friends..."Tara Bradbury, The Telegram
