NEW BOOK RELEASE COMING - IN THE STARTING STAGES!
"Happy the Balloon" has been written for several years, but is just now being refined and illustrated for publishing. This fully illustrated book will be ideal for the 3-7 year old range. Funny, sad and rewarding; this story follows a party balloon's adventure as he looses his way and eventually finds his purpose in a heart warming story. Happy the Balloon will give kids inspiration to find their own way to joy and happiness.

We recently received the finished printed copies of "Things That Toot." The graphics are bright, colorful and super attractive. The story layout is perfectly suited for preschool kids, filled with fun pictures and accompanying text. Perfect for fun and creative interactive reading for a parent, grandparent or educator.

CHARACTER UPDATE MEET RUDY AGAIN!
I have learned that one of the many keys to writing books children will love is being "age appropriate." AND... this is really important with illustration imagery, especially when relating to younger readers. So taking advise from my most important editor/critique, the character RUDY has been slightly tweaked to be more child-like and be relatable to my 3-6 year old readers.. Meet the new and improved RUDY:

Hoodsport Local Market
Saturday the 21st Tipsy Duck Books was at that Local Market sponsored by St Germain's Church Hoodsport. Another great opportunity to meet with neighboring folks, talk about children's books and the fellowship in the community. We had a wonderful time, distributed some fun books and gathered some generous donations to Sunny Sky's Animal Rescue. In all a wonderful experience. Thanks to the staff of St. Germain's and to all who shared part of their day with us.

While the online prices have increased, live event prices were not impacted and will remain the same for now.

CREATIVE STORIES TO INSPIRE CHILDREN:
One of our young readers, River, 6 years from Portland, Oregon, was inspired by the book "Blue, A Story of a Dog's Best Friend and a True Heart." Learning to knit she wanted to create a blue elephant like the one in the heartwarming story. River's mother, Leslie, forwarded her amazing work of art. We are humbled at Tipsy Duck Books that River honored our character in such a beautiful way. THANK YOU RIVER!
Pictured with River's creation is the original actual character, Blue.

NEW SHIPMENT and GOOD NEWS
Sadly, as mentioned earlier, a price increase of ordered Tipsy Duck Books from our "on-line" vendor is scheduled for June 10th. While we have worked to maintain the lowest possible price point, this will result in a $2 to $3 increase per unit that we have no control over. The good news is that for now, print costs of Author Ordered copies will not increase. Thus, at live events we will still provide books at our lowest price point. This summer we will be at the 2025 Market on the Hill, on June 21, July 19, and August 16 at St Germain's Church Hoodsport.
If you wish to order on line prior to the scheduled price increase, please visit our page at Tipsy Duck Books for order information. Thanks All!
