The Journeys of Duck

The Journeys of Duck is the first book in the Legends of the Old Birds trilogy. Duck has lived peacefully by the pond with his family for his whole life. But when his mother one day becomes mysteriously ill, he finds himself thrust upon a dangerous adventure to achieve things he never thought were possible. Follow Duck on his three journeys, each to a place of legend where no simple duck has ever walked before. Accompanied by ten enchanting, full-color pictures, this whimsical debut novel about courage, perseverance, and generosity will charm and delight early readers. The Journeys of Duck is written simplistically enough for very young readers to engage with it, but it is long enough--and contains enough nuance--for them to receive the satisfaction of having read a "big kid's book". It is perfect for a bedtime read-aloud or for a child to read on his own time.
