Quack
A quirky, heartfelt story about anxiety, friendship, and finding your voice.
Ten-year-old Shady Cook struggles with selective mutism caused by anxiety. His best friend, Pouya, understands -- despite being the class clown, he has his own hang-ups lurking just below the surface. Shady's parents, however, are eager to find a way to help their son start talking more, so when a live duck waddles into their lives and Shady starts to respond, they reluctantly decide to give Svenrietta the emotional support duck a chance.
Before long, Shady, Pouya, and their diaper-wearing duck are working to help all of the underdogs (or is it underducks?) at their school -- and there are many.
Target age group 9-12
