Abigail Jackman adopted four baby ducklings in 2011 -- and a real<\/em> \"Duck Dynasty\" was born!\u00a0 Over the years, Abby and her parents, John and Debbie Jackman, have cared for twenty pet ducks and shared their stories with thousands of fans on social media.\u00a0 The stories of Sheik and Piggy, Amelia, and Princess Fluff-A-Lot fascinated folks.\u00a0 As we built the ducks a pen and dubbed it \"Duck Manor,\" many fans kept track of every turn and wanted to see more videos and pictures.\u00a0 Soon, folks started to say \"you guys should write a book!\"\u00a0 And now that has become a reality!<\/p>\n

The father-and-daughter writing team has planned out a series of six children's books about their real experiences with their ducks - stories that include important life lessons for children and parents alike!\u00a0 Once they met the talented artist Phoebe Lewis and she agreed to illustrate the books, they were on the way!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
