In her series, “The Duck Chronicles”, Gail Tucker-Griffith writes about a Muscovy duck who lives in a seaside park in Miami. She describes the dangers Ziggy faces and how she interacts with people who walk and play there. In “Book 2: Ziggy & Zack, Brave & True”, Ziggy lives alone at the park until Zack, a handsome drake, appears on the scene. They become a friendly pair well known to the adults and children who frequent the park, and congenial interactions develop among residents of Miami’s coastal community as, together, they enjoy the ducks’ outgoing behaviors. Ziggy sustains an injury at the park and all her friends, human and animal, join together to help her recover. In Ziggy’s story, Gail brings her view of nature to life for storytellers and young readers alike. As a scientist-educator, she is someone who understands the laws of nature but for whom the lives of living creatures she observes inspire her to celebrate their allegorical humanity. In this story Ziggy shows how she overcame loneliness and fear, and learned more about friendship, love and forgiveness, issues that face all of us, human and otherwise, young and old.
