Duckey makes a splash with early reviews. While our designer Nathan Brown readies Duckey and the Ocean Protectors to go to press, advance reviews are flowing in. Chris Dehnel of the (Hartford) Journal Inquirer said, “John Sexton and Katie Gutierrez, backed by clever illustrations by Maciej Zajac, show young readers the importance of keeping a great natural resource precious. And they do so with a little adventure and a little mystery told from the typewriter of a winged scribe who winds up giving even Clark Kent a run for his money.” Lyn Dillies, America’s premiere female illusionist, found the book to be magical: “Children need more books like this to stimulate their imagination and teach them to nurture the planet and environment.” |
