Dog Saves Duck

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.
