You thought the Public Garden had a monopoly on adorable ducks, didn't you? Well, the garden had better make way for The WaterFire Duck, a children's book being released today in Providence (and on September 30 on Amazon). The book tells the story of a very special duck who finds her own special song at WaterFire, the Providence event that features little bonfires floating on the city's rivers. The book was written by Kiki Latimer, and illustrated by Bunny Griffeth; both were "inspired by the magic of WaterFire."
