Book Nook - A Duck in a Tree

Annabelle the mallard duck is content to spend her days floating in the pond by the big oak tree. She loves to eat birdseed with the other birds and quack with the other ducks in the pond. But one day, when Daniel the wood duck invites her to fly up into the big oak tree with him, Annabelle finds that her big, webbed feet make her the odd one out. As Annabelle tries to perch in trees, she finds out something special about herself and learns to appreciate her differences all the more.

About the Illustrator
Kelly Lane is an illustrator based in Texas. He graduated with a bachelor’s degree in fine art drawing from Texas State University in 2006. He taught for thirteen years in elementary education, from the tiny pre-K kids to the not-so-tiny third graders, which afforded him a keen insight into the world of children and the innocent prism through which they view the world. Now, Kelly freelances out of his home studio, breathing life into imaginary worlds. He lives in a cozy hobbit hole under tree and hill in San Antonio, Texas with his wife, two rambunctious boys, Boston terrier Bobo, and a lazy bobtailed cat called Bobkitty.
