"They  trot past the cannon, 
waddle under the old stone clock. 
They weave through the spring flowers, 
All but one, ends up on the dock. 

Oh, no! Who is missing? 
Mother Mallard counts, 'One , two, three...'
Eight little ducklings in all, 
where could our little Peanut be?"

A Peanut's Tale
is a heartfelt story about a duckling who wanders from the safety of the lake, but finds a home with two little girls.
The book touches on the rewards of opening your home, and the love gained. .

Throughout the book, homage is paid to the local history of The Children's Lake in Boiling Springs, PA. The text and illustrations highlight the bubble, tavern, and many local landmarks known well through the community.  For locals, it touches upon their love of Children's Lake.  And for others,    you will fall in love with this beautiful community  through the illustrations  and rhyme. 

A Peanut's Tale is truly a work of heart. A mother's childhood story, in her daughter's words. 
You will quickly notice the illustrations bringing the Lake to life.
​ I can bet that you will catch yourself wanting to reach into the book and pet Peanut. 
"A Peanut's Tale is a testament to Boiling Springs and Children's Lake as much as to the power of memory and imagination. Its rhymes and illustrations remind us of the value of family - not just the family we're born with, but the family we choose to build with one another."  
 - Benjamin Walker
"A Peanut's Tale recreates the pure essence of young life while navigating the emotional passageway of inevitable change. The naturalistic detail of the illustrations paired with the sweet sway of poetry depicts a story of warmth, compassion, and empathy. A book you'll keep for your children's children."
 - Dina Flickinger, LCSW
