PUDDLES the Duck Learns to Believe
By: Carla Luna Smith
Puddles the duck isn’t like the other ducks and animals. You see, Puddles was born with a left wing and foot that are weaker than her right ones, making some things hard and even impossible for her to do. But despite disappointment and discouragement, thanks to a smart doctor and some added courage, Puddles learns she is not only strong, but brave and special.
The book is inspired by the author’s daughter Kristen’s journey with her disability
and her beloved stuffed animal she named Puddles. Like Puddles, she visited many doctors and the merry-go-round part was the message from one of her actual doctors and it changed her life.
Kristen’s weakness eventually made her stronger, more adaptable to adversity, and more empathetic to those who have any disability or imperfection. This is what Carla hopes this book will convey and teach to all who read it.
