All of this changes when she meets an amazing and special little duck who teaches her a very important lesson. What is it that makes this duck so amazing and special, and what lesson can Mari possibly learn from a silly little duck? Marion Bantle was the mother of our pastor, a dear friend, and our adopted grandmother. She passed away in 2013 from complications after having her left leg removed. After she died, several of her family members went on a weekend getaway to a cabin by a lake. They were out on the dock talking and laughing about the wonderful memories with Grandma Bantle when all of a sudden a duck flew onto the dock. To their amazement, this little duck was missing its left leg just like Grandma Bantle. This was written to inspire and build up anyone of any age needing a little inspiration and encouragement.

Cheese & Quackers are pet ducks who have become friends. More than anything, they want to fly South for the winter with the flock. They make plans for their trip. When the big day arrives, Quackers is too heavy to fly. He will have to make the journey by land. Cheese draws up a map for Quackers to follow. Quackers' side kick, Minnie, a tea cup pot belly pig, makes the journey with him.

Cheese & Quackers is full of zany fun-filled twists and turns along the journey where, in the end, both ducks do get to realize their dreams.
