Dabbleduck is an Australian wood duck who loves to dabble; Frog, Fish, Eel, Yabby and Platypus all know this about her.
However, when one of her river friends becomes trapped because of rubbish left in the river, it is her dabbling that saves the day!
Another delightful childrens story by Di Ellis that teaches us about friendships, respecting differences and how when we all work together we can change the world.
Dabbleduck is a darling and sure to become a favourite with young children and early readers.
As a child, Dianne wrote poems and has continued to do so throughout her life, inspired by people and experiences. Several of her poems have also been acknowledged in poetry competitions and have been published. She was thrilled to be awarded 1st Prize in the 11th Kathleen Julia Bates Memorial Writing Competition with the poem The Family Cat in April 2014. Raising three children and working full-time. However, she turned a corner in 2000 when she gained my Diploma of Professional Childrens Writing. Since that time, she havent stopped writing.
