The Gifts of Baby Duck

Baby Duck is confused, hurt and sad as the other critters at the lake tease and bully him. Loving and protective Mommy Duck knows how great he is and she will do what it takes to support her son. You will feel for Baby Duck when he is mocked, but your heart will be warmed as mommy comes to his rescue. You will be inspired by the love of Mommy Duck and intrigued by the many qualities she sees in her son. See how it all turns out for Baby Duck!

Although this is a delightful story about a mother's love, the underlying message is just as important... If a baby duck is blessed with so many qualities, how great and gifted are all of us?

"The Gifts of Baby Duck" is the first book in a nature series featuring animals that live by Sturgeon Lake in northern Alberta, Canada. Children will gain an appreciation of the many critters that live by the lake and how their lives are intertwined. They will also see that animals and humans are alike in many ways.
