About the book

I Got You a Present! follows Duckie on an epic quest to get you, the reader, the best birthday present. Ever!!!!

But nothing goes right, and poor Duckie ends up in a race against time to show you how much he cares. 

While the book might be about birthdays, it’s actually about so much more. It helps kids navigate the difficulties of setbacks and failures while inspiring them to understand what’s really important: friendship.

Available at Amazon.com, Amazon.ca, and Indigo, the book is written by Regional Emmy Award-winning Mike Erskine-Kellie and Susan McLennan, and it’s illustrated by Cale Atkinson. 

It’s published by Kids Can Press (April 7, 2020), winners of the Bologna Prize, Best Children’s Publisher, North America in 2017. The book is distributed world-wide by Hatchette Books.
