“Danny the Dork Dancing Duck is more than a delightful children’s book, it’s a joyful celebration of what I love most about Dork Dancing: freedom, fun, and fearless self-expression. I’ve been a super-fan of Ethan’s visionary movement for years. Dork Dancing isn’t just carefree, it’s a powerful, evidence-based way to boost mental wellbeing, dissolve stigma, and connect people through playful, judgement-free movement. We could all be a little more like Danny.”
Jill Vialet, Founder of Playworks
“Danny the Dork Dancing Duck is full of charm and rhythm - a joyful, silly story that made me smile and reminded me why being yourself is always worth celebrating. I didn’t expect to be won over by a dancing duck, but Danny’s got moves and a message we all need now and then.”
