About

One duck, one loud family, a lot of stories

The Biskit books started the way most family stories do: with something that actually happened, retold until it got funnier.

Biskit is a real duck. The family in the books is a real family, drawn as themselves and going by the nicknames they actually use. The stories come out of ordinary days at the pond, and each one carries something small and true underneath the noise: feed animals kindly, make room for someone new, pay attention to the people you love.

They are written to be read out loud, laughed at, and asked for again the next night.
