Hello, and WELCOME to Purple Duck Publishing! Some of you might know me best from my longtime career as a financial consultant. (For a complete bio, click here). There is another side of me that has always been itching to create, to celebrate the imagination and fantasy world that young children love so much. Writing stories inspired by life, by my grandchildren, is completely natural for me. Like me, many of you would love to discover a way to connect today’s “screen-happy” kids with the power of books and joy of reading. I have partnered with a website that can provide exactly that. It’s a website where my most recent books have been animated and added to an ever-growing library of online video-books: VOOKS! Vooks has allowed Purple Duck Publishing to bridge traditional storybooks with a new way of growing a child’s library. Vooks introduces a new kid-safe video streaming service with ad-free, age-appropriate content. Every vook is specifically crafted to make screen time better. From the pacing and animation, to the read-along format, it’s screen time you can feel good about.

Gifts That Keep on Giving

When the holidays approach we feel the wonder and awe for the season. We feel it most when we share the energy and sense of surprise with children in our lives.

It’s always somewhat perplexing to decide what to give today’s young people. The latest toy can be awesome for a short time, but the novelty usually fades.

With the creation of my print book, Waffles in the Sand, I was overjoyed to observe children reading it.

But when I saw that book published at Vooks.com, I realized the power of animation to engage today’s children. In addition, their “library” could be ever changing!

Just in time for the holidays, Vooks is offering a FREE TRIAL. Here’s a chance to choose a gift that really DOES keep on giving all year long.

Feel free to share this with your friends and family. And look for the announcement of the next books to be added to the Vooks library from Purple Duck Publishing.
