Buddy has been thinking about the pond for a very long time.
When a flick of Blackie's tail signals it's finally time to go, Buddy follows the winding path beyond Homewoods-past familiar places and into something new. At the water's edge, the world feels bigger, louder, and just a little uncertain.
With a quiet turtle watching nearby and a brave friend already splashing ahead, Buddy must decide if he's ready to take that very first step.
Buddy Visits the Duck Pond is a tender story about curiosity, courage, and discovering that sometimes the hardest part isn't what's waiting for us-it's simply beginning.
This is the third book in the beloved Homewoods Stories series, where everyday adventures lead to meaningful moments of growth, friendship, and heart.
