Louise's Nest

An endearing tale inspired by a real duck named Louise. In this story, the main character Louise, arrives at the flock's nesting site too late. There is no room for her and she must move on to find a new nesting spot. Along the way, seasons change with each page. Louise encounters many different animals on her journey, including beavers, sheep, butterflies, coyotes, squirrels, bees, and more. Pumpkins, apples, acorns, and strawberries are just a few of the unlikely items she rolls into her nest. Although Louise struggles to find the right place, she perseveres and learns from lessons past and the importance of including others.

Children will have fun predicting what Louise will add to her nest next. A great story to read aloud. Repetition creates rhythm and encourages the audience to read along.
