Joseph Costa

Joseph has earned the votes and respect of his peers to win the Best of Long Island "Author on Long Island" award for 2019 and 2020! ​Joseph's creativity was inspired as a young boy by the escapism he found in children's books, toys, music, cartoons and comic books. Aspiring to be a cartoonist, he created the Puffs characters at a very young age. As an adult, Joseph's nostalgic memories of a wonderful childhood have compelled him to share the same experience for a new generation of children and families around the world with the Puffs brand. Joseph is ready to turn his beloved Puffs children's book characters into an animated cartoon series.
