Pysjan hennar Freyju - Icelandic version.
Freyja og fjölskylda hennar leggja af stað í björgunarleiðangur seint um kvöld. Þau búa í Vestmannaeyjum ásamt hundrað þúsundum lunda sem koma þangað til að verpa. En stundum villast litlu lundapysjurnar inn í bæinn í stað þess að fara á haf út. Þá hjálpast eyjaskeggjar við að koma þeim öruggum út á sjó. En það er ekki auðvelt verk! Þessa nótt reynir á hugrekki Freyju.

Pufflings Fly Free - English version.
While most of the world sleeps, Freya and her family embark on a late-night rescue mission like no other. On Iceland’s Westman Islands, families gather at midnight to save lost baby puffins, or pufflings, guiding them safely back to the sea.
Freya has always dreamed of rescuing a puffling on her own, just like her older siblings. But every time she tries, the tiny birds slip through her fingers—beaks nip, claws scratch, and they escape.
When one puffling tumbles into the deep clamshell bucket of an excavator, out of reach from everyone else, Freya is faced with a choice. With her family ready to head home, she must find the courage to climb in and save the little bird—all by herself.
This fictional story is based on the Puffling Patrol, a real rescue that takes place every year on the Westman Islands of Iceland. Both the author and illustrator joined the Puffling Patrol and rescued birds themselves.
