Gratitude Glory

We are in the gratitude season. It comes to us in unusual ways and sometimes when we least expect it and sometimes when we need it the most. Coming when I needed it the most recently happened to me. As I looked back at the books I have written, I discovered that gratitude is up front and center in all of my books. Because that trait has always been important to me, I wanted young readers to realize how important it is to them as well as those around them. In this scene, Little Honker is saved by the ducklings because he can't swim. He is filled with gratitude for saving him. Gratitude. Embrace it. Wrap yourself in it. Such a precious quality to have in your life. Enjoy.

Book Excerpt

Little Honker's Backyard Adventures

“Help me!” Warren honked again. “I can’t (gasp) swim (gasp).” Warren was moving in the direction of the edge, but he kept going under the water. Every time his head popped out of the water, he gasped for air.

All four ducklings came paddling as fast as their little legs would let them. Instinct set in and the ducklings went into action.

“Hold on, Warren. We’ll help you swim to the side so you can get out.”

Warren had two front paws on two ducklings and they were all swimming to the side of the pond. Warren was working his hind feet as fast as he could and holding on to the sides of two of the ducklings. The two in the back were pushing Warren and trying desperately to keep him afloat. When they got there, he put his front paws on the edge of the pond and two of the babies pushed and pushed and pushed him with their heads from the back.

They pushed and pushed until finally his back side was out of the water. Those ducklings had way more superpower than Warren could ever imagine.

“Wow! Your tail is long and it doesn’t look anything like ours.”

“No wonder you can’t swim very well.”

“Thanks guys! You saved me.
