Special Announcement – A GOOD DAY FOR DUCKS

May 9, 2018May 9, 2018 Jane the Raincity Librarian 4 comments

I am beyond thrilled to announce that my second picture book, A Good Day for Ducks is coming from Pajama Press in September, 2018!

Rain is falling, and these siblings know just how to enjoy it: raincoats, rubber boots, puddle jumping, swimming ducks, and wiggling worms! A thunderstorm sends the children scrambling for home and a cup of hot cocoa. Maybe it will rain again tomorrow!

From the acclaimed creators of Wild One, A Good Day for Ducks is a child-centered celebration of the joy that can be found in any rainy day. Jane Whittingham‘s spare but sensory-laden text and Noel Tuazon‘s energetic and endearing illustrations are packaged in a sturdy book format with padded cover, rounded corners, and extra-heavy paper. The format is perfect for eager, little hands, while the sweet story will make even the weariest of parents nostalgic for their own puddle-jumping days.

How sweet is that! A Good Day for Ducks is adorably illustrated by Wild One illustrator Noel Tuazon, and follows two siblings as they make the most of a wet and rainy day. Inspired by my own childhood, this is the perfect Raincity picture book!

You can pre-order your very own copy of A Good Day for Ducks on Amazon or Indigo  or purchase a copy at your local bookstore in September!

A big, big thank you to the folks at Pajama Press for believing in me again and bringing my stories to life, and to Noel for creating the most wonderful illustrations I could have hoped for.

I can’t wait to share these adorable little puddle-jumpers with you this fall, and I hope you fall in love with them as much as I have!
