Finding Family: The Duckling Raised by Loons


Discover the true story of an orphaned mallard duckling being raised by a pair of loons. On a lake in northern Wisconsin in 2019, loon researchers were surprised to discover a mother and father loon caring for a mallard duckling. Normally loons and mallards live very different lives and do not get along. Follow along as the duckling grows and displays a mix of both loon behaviours and mallard behaviours. Intriguing verse and striking illustrations combine in this heartwarming tale of unexpected animal cooperation.
