As the fair celebrates another successful year of bringing together the brightest minds in publishing, Citi of Books proudly joins the festivities at the 77th Frankfurter Buchmesse, showcasing inspiring titles from its talented authors. Among the featured works in the Book Gallery is Quackers the Duck by Debbie Lynn Eddy, a tender children’s tale about loneliness, the search for friends, and finding love and family in unexpected places.
Debbie Lynn Eddy is a loving wife and mother of four who studied early childhood education. Her stories are inspired by her children and life lessons.
Quackers the Duck follows Quackers, a lonely little duck who wakes up one day and realizes he has no friends to count on. Determined to change that, Quackers sets off on a gentle, page-turning search — meeting dozens of characters, trying on different ways of making friends, and learning what it really means to reach out. The story builds to a warm, hopeful finish when Quackers not only finds companions but also meets a special duck who will become his partner, giving the book a comforting message about love, family, and belonging.
The story is written in short, rhythmic lines that make it a natural read-aloud for parents and teachers, and the narrative stays tightly focused on Quackers’ emotional journey rather than complicated subplots. That makes it ideal for circle-time or bedtime reading: kids follow the clear problem (loneliness), witness small attempts and setbacks, and celebrate a satisfying resolution that emphasizes action over waiting.
