Bruce McMillan

Bruce McMillan (May 10, 1947- ) is a contemporary American author of children books, photo-illustrator[1] and watercolor artist living in Shapleigh, Maine.

His 2018 Winter Olympics curling watercolors were a two-page feature in the Maine Sunday Telegram Arts Section.

McMillan's most noted award-winning children's book is Nights of the Pufflings (1995), set on the Icelandic island of Heimaey.

The story introduces a local children's tradition of rescuing young birds, pufflings (a name he coined), which take their first flight on August nights, some stranded in the village streets.

[citation needed] Several of McMillan's children's books were translated into other languages - Icelandic, German and Korean.
