Introducing…
Danny the
Dork Dancing
Duck
In the little town of Wigglewood, one duck dares to dance differently.
When Danny the Duck faces teasing for his joyful moves, he almost gives up—until a new friend helps him turn “dork” into something to celebrate.
Join Danny and friends as they flap, hop, and twirl their worries away in this heartwarming story about courage, kindness, and the freedom to be yourself.
Praise
“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.”
