Reseña del editor:

Daisy and the Dirty Dozen is the true, heartwarming, and fun story of a female mallard duck and her 12 ducklings that take up residence in a suburban family’s swimming pool.The Wallace family take the 13 ducks “under their wing” and are able to watch a mother duck care for her ducklings right from their kitchen window.The ducks also provide the Wallace family with the opportunity to learn more about wildlife and how to enjoy sharing their yard with a family of ducks.See the real-life Daisy and the Dirty Dozen at www.daisyandthedirtydozen.comAdvance Praise for Daisy and the Dirty Dozen:Nature makes its way into the suburbs and a local family learns more about their fellow inhabitants in this charming story of a duck family who made an unlikely home in a family pool. In a town surrounded by small ponds, a river and two lakes, the lifecycle of our migrant mallards is often scarcely understood. This family learned about the habits of a nesting mother duck, the growth and adaptation of her brood, the value of accepting a change in everyday routines, and alterations in backyard maintenance to allow the duck family to thrive.Barbara Leary, Executive Committee Chair (Sierra Club, Sacramento Group)Daisy and the Dirty Dozen is a very engaging story that children can relate to. I love the warmth that the Wallace family shows toward each other and towards their new duck family. The writing and illustrations allow you to share the experience. I really enjoyed this story, and I think others will, too.Jean Ferrario, Second Grade Teacher

Brian Wallace is a native northern Californian with a love of art, illustration and children’s literature. He worked professionally as a graphic designer and art director prior to settling in as a marketing director for a professional consulting firm. When a family of ducks took over his backyard swimming pool one spring, he was surprised by how interested friends and neighbors were in the ducks.

He lives in Folsom, California with his wife Jessica and their two children, Cole and Claire. Daisy and the Dirty Dozen is his first children’s book.
