Yellow Duck Press is the secret book-making name of Dore' Ripley! A nom de plume (that's a fancy way of saying "pen name") is something authors use when they write lots of different kinds of books. When writing novels, Ripley uses her real name, but when creating stories for children, she becomes Yellow Duck Press —kind of like a superhero secret identity!   Yellow Duck Press produces children's picture books, comic picture books, and leveled readers that are whimsical, fun, and educational. The "Kitty Cat Cousins" series offers children a charming set of books starring their favorite felines who have some of the same dreams and problems experienced by young readers.   Before becoming a full-time author, Ripley was an award-winning teacher—she even helped train other teachers to teach reading! But her favorite thing? Writing the stories she always wished she had as a kid. That's why her books are funny, whimsical, magical, and even a little educational.   Most of all, she wants to help young readers fall in love with books. So grab a story and start exploring—who knows where reading will take you next? Check out other books from Yellow Duck Press to find out how to quack your way into reading fun!
