A Duck's Day is a delightful rhyming children's story that follows a little duck on an unexpected adventure from morning until bedtime. As the sun rises, the duck takes flight and journeys high above rivers, mountains, and trees before finding a cool body of water to rest and explore.
But the peaceful swim soon becomes an adventure when the tired duck falls asleep and drifts toward a dangerous waterfall. With the help of a fish, he awakens just in time to escape danger and begin his journey home.
Filled with playful rhymes, nature, adventure, and a gentle spiritual message, A Duck's Day offers young readers an entertaining story while encouraging appreciation for creation, perseverance, gratitude, and faith. The story concludes with the duck safely home, ready for bed after taking a moment to pray.
