Since WaterFire was first set alight in 1994,
over 10 million visitors and thousands of ducks
have come to see the artwork. And many of them
have been inspired by what they have found.
Among those moved to share their passion about
WaterFire are Kiki Latimer and Bunny Griffeth,
who have come together to write and illustrate
THE WATERFIRE DUCK.
Kiki found
the inspiration for her story at the last
WaterFire lighting of the 2008 season. "As I
sat on the stone wall at the edge of the river
watching the bonfires, a little brown duck came
right over to me and greeted me by patting her
feet with a happy rat-a-tat-tat! I realized
right then that the little duck was telling me
her story. But it was not just her story. It
was mine as well, and everyone's story. It is a
story of hope, of seeking the good in the world,
of losing hope and then finding your way, of
facing discouragement and the power of friends
who encourage us on our personal journey towards
peace.
Bunny was
inspired in her paintings by the scenic beauty
of Rhode Island's famed Narragansett Bay and the
glory of WaterFire. She hopes to capture this
joy through the magic of watercolors.
THE WATERFIRE DUCK tells the story of finding
WaterFire within your own heart finding
that place in our soul where fire, water and
music merge to fill us with an echo of something
far greater than ourselves.
This is a children's book that will reach the
child in everyone who loves WaterFire.
