Don’t Get Stuck On Being a Duck‪!‬

Ethel the eaglet feels scared when her mother tells her it’s time to learn how to fly.  But with the love and support of her mother, Ethel discovers that what she feared most is actually what she loves best!


Children growing up have to face many fears. Fear of the unknown is one of the greatest to overcome. Don’t Get Stuck on Being a Duck! chronicles Ethel the eaglet’s journey through one of the greatest milestones of her life — learning to fly — and the fear she has to conquer to overcome it. Children will enjoy watching Ethel go from terrified, to relaxed, to ecstatically happy at accomplishing her goal. By introducing your children to Ethel in this book, you are giving them the wherewithal, confidence, and understanding to conquer any challenge life places in front of them — no matter how new or terrifying. As the novelist Samuel Butler once said: “Fear is [the] static that prevents me from hearing myself.” When children read about Ethel’s experiences, the voices of doubt within their own heads can be silenced, allowing them to succeed beyond their wildest dreams.
