Today’s cozy read‑aloud features 10 Little Rubber Ducks — Eric Carle’s warm, rhythmic ocean journey inspired by a real event. The book’s gentle counting structure and signature collage artwork create a soothing sense of movement as each duck drifts across the sea, meeting ocean creatures and finding its own quiet place in the world.

For this video, I selected moments that highlight a soft “Finding Your Way” arc: the ducks’ tumble into the ocean, the gentle encounters along the way, and the warm, reassuring close that anchors the book’s quiet charm.

Before recording, I created a small index‑card collage:

a bright yellow duck with a blue eye and orange beak, floating in layered green‑and‑blue water, framed in my handmade red‑with‑white‑dots frame.

Its cheerful simplicity mirrors the book’s gentle exploration and helps me enter the story’s world with intention and calm focus.

🎥 Watch the full cozy read‑aloud and enjoy this warm, quietly adventurous ocean journey.
