Dog & Duck: The Day We Found Each Other

A story about the surprising friendship that changes everything.

Dog had always been perfectly happy on his own — or so he thought. Then one bright morning, Duck arrived at the pond, and nothing in Willowmere was ever quite the same again.

A warm, funny, and quietly moving story about the courage it takes to say hello, and the joy that follows when you do. Perfect for reading aloud together, ages 3–7.

Ages:3–7
Pages:32
Format:Hardcover & eBook
