For several years, a mallard hen has spent time swimming and preening in Barbara Ream's backyard pool. This year, she was joined by her baby ducks! Mrs. Dabby next door and her talented daughter Heidi, a children's author, like visiting the yard and watching Momma Duck and the babies play. They thought it was so unusual that they encouraged her to document them growing up. Ducks in a Row is the result of the pictures she took and what she sees when she watches them.
