Calling all educators!
I am very excited about the Teaching Kit for Duckey, fantastic! I have to tell you that I am constantly running around the house trying to find my book because my 2 and 4 year old love the cover and they keep taking it to pretend to read the story! Cory Naugle, Marine Science Educator

Help to Pass the No Child Left Inside Act
If our kids today are going to better understand how we impact nature and the environment, they need to be outside to understand what it's all about! The No Child Left Inside Act would provide funding to help provide teacher training and expand high-quality environmental education programs and engage kids with the great outdoors. Learn more and sign a petition here to urge Congress to pass this now!

Greetings fellow Ocean Protectors!
Duckey and the Ocean Protectors
is now available! I hope you will enjoy the tales of Duckey and his friends. But I also invite you to join me on my personal mission to inspire youngsters to see themselves as agents of positive change for our planet. We all have families, dreams and goals in one form or another. We just need to take the time and think about each other... and extend a hand. I would love to hear from you and what you're doing to save the environment so feel free to email me at john@duckeyops.com.

Believe it! Achieve it!

The Reviews Are Coming In!
We're starting to receive some wonderful reviews for Duckey and the Ocean Protectors. Aimee Hayden-Roderiques, the Natural Science Educator and Aquarium Director at the Maine State Aquarium:

It had a great combination of adventure, humor, and heart and the illustrations were captivating-helping to give colorful life to the characters and story. Middle school children are sure to be intrigued by this quirky tale, and as a result inspired with their own sense of responsibility for the state of the ocean environment. We need more tales like this out there for children-both entertaining and helping the next generations of ocean stewards take shape.
