The Downtown Ducks

Based on the heartwarming, true story of a mother duck that hatched her ducklings on the side of a downtown office building in Spokane, Washington. A friend helped rescue the ducklings as they began to fall to the sidewalk below. With his help, the mother and her ducklings then traveled through the middle of a downtown parade to reach the river a few blocks away. Written by Spokane local, Richard Repp, with illustrations by Repp, his mother, and his daughter. This hometown, feel-good story is brought to life through Repp's storytelling and his family's collaborative illustrations.
