"I am deeply touched by this story of Bucky and me.

Patty Shenker has captured a very important time in my childhood, specifically a time that set the foundation for my life's work.

Seventy years later, I still fondly remember my little friend and the fun days we spent
together in his pond.

Her words, beautifully illustrated by David Walega, demonstrate that when a child is touched by the wild, it is a lasting and powerful connection."

-Captain Paul Watson
