Author from Ludlow, MA Publishes Adorable Story about a Lonely Duckling

"Ducky Drew's Unexpected Friend!," a new children's book by Joan Leslie Haynes, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

Ducky Drew almost has it all. The only thing missing in this little duckling's life is a friend to have fun with! Ducky Drew can't help but spend all of his time wishing for a good pal.

It's not as if he hasn't had potential playmates in the past. There was that tiny gray mouse, but life in the waters of the babbling brook held no appeal for him. Then came other creatures: the brown bunny; the small, orange kitten; and the white, spotted puppy. He'd imagined they'd all make great friends, but life in the water didn't suit any of them very well.

In "Ducky Drew's Unexpected Friend!," Ducky Drew's biggest wish will finally come true! Readers will fall in love with the tale of the two new friends and their crazy adventures.
