The Story of Googala Duck: Spring in the Pond

The Story of Googala Duck: Spring in the Pond is the fifth in a series of picture books about Googala Duck, who decides to stay in the pond for the winter, while his family goes South for the next six months. Now that it is spring again, Googala is eager to return to the pond and proud he survived the cold harsh winter. He sees some of his old friends, describes his adventures, and after several weeks of the days getting warmer, his family returns, and he eagerly sees them again. Though his parents admonish him for staying behind, he assures them he has learned his lesson to behave and listen to them in the future. Plus, he has learned he can be strong and brave, too.

John Pluff has long been inspired by children's books. When growing up, his mother read to him and his five siblings, and his teachers read everything from Robin Hood to books by contemporary authors.

John began writing, after he started reading and telling stories at bedtime to his children, and then improvised with a story of his own. Googala Duck was one that he wrote and remembered from those years, and he turned it into a series of picture books.

John also writes film scripts and is working on additional children's books.
