Overview
What happens when a fierce storm leaves a baby duckling cold, wet, and alone in the world? Follow along as a big white dog saves this little yellow duck, resulting in a real-life friendship that celebrates the power of kindness. Written by New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Julie Cantrell-and including her family's photos of these two unlikely animal friends-this story will delight young readers, teach the importance of empathy, and remind us all to love one another. As a certified speech-language pathologist, reading interventionist, and literacy advocate, Julie's picture books instill a love of story in young readers while giving teachers, parents, and librarians a quick read-aloud that will engage active preschool-aged children (even those with short attention spans). Ideal for storytime, bedtime, or as a sweet gift for the littles in your life, this real-life tale of compassion emphasizes the importance of forming healthy friendships and offering support to those in need-even those who seem different from us. ★BONUS: Access video clips of Dog and Duck in action by visiting https: //www.tiktok.com/@juliecantrellauthor ✓ Ideal for teachers, parents, and librarians to read-aloud ✓ Geared for the short attention spans of preschool and kindergarten students ✓ Teaches the importance of empathy, compassion, and friendship ✓ Offers developmentally appropriate vocabulary for children as young as 3-5 years of age ✓ Could be used by faith-based teachers/parents to supplement the parable of The Good Samaritan ✓ Includes colorful photographs and clean fonts to engage young readers ✓ Emphasizes themes of inclusion, kindness, and healthy relationships ✓ Supports early-childhood learning skills (size, shape, color, number, etc.) ✓ Links to bonus content on TikTok
