Author John Griffin’s New Book, "Woody, the Wood Duck, Not Your Ordinary Duck Tale," is a Charming Story of a Young Duck Who is Rescued and Raised by Humans

Coloma, MI, January 14, 2025 --(PR.com)-- John Griffin, a retired elementary teacher, has completed his new book, “Woody, the Wood Duck, Not Your Ordinary Duck Tale”: an adorable story of a duckling named Woody who is rescued and nursed back to health by a family of humans, but soon must leave in order to be with other ducks like himself.

A native of southwestern Michigan, author John Griffin enjoyed long walks in the woods and wetlands as a child. During his career in education, author John Griffin promoted literacy and the love of reading by sharing many read-aloud stories about nature and science with his students. As an adult, he continues to enjoy spending time on nature walks and birdwatching.

“This is the story of a rescue duck from the day it hatches to when it reaches full maturity as a male wood duck,” writes Griffin. “Our story takes place in a small town in southwest Michigan where there are plenty of woods, fields, and wetlands. A small duck is rescued from certain death by a family. As the duckling grows stronger, so does the family’s bond and commitment to take care and nurture the duckling.

“When Woody begins to display his true colors as a male wood duck, he also shows off his personality by swimming, diving, and practicing his flying skills in the family’s pool while providing readers with a fascinating glimpse into a duck’s habitat. This adventure story has its high and low points, but through the strength and high spirit of the family’s bond, all is well in the end. Part fiction and nonfiction, this story tugs on the heartstrings of all readers, regardless of their age.”
