Witzy
Witzy – Duckport’s Baby Duck and cousin to all the Quackers
– Witzy is a boy baby duck
– The backyard is Witzy’s primary play space. It has physical boundaries.
– Witzy uses his imagination to take him out of the backyard environment for his more daring, imaginary adventures.
– Witzy has a bedroom where all of the plush animals sleep with him at night
– Witzy’s Mama occasionally takes him physically outside of the backyard, but only on play dates that would be typical for a toddler (the beach, park, school)
– Witzy’s world is a world of color, scent, and safe adventures. It is not a world of advanced technology, telecommunications or television. It is a world grounded in nostalgia where families eat dinner at the dining room table, where good manners are always important and where you greet the world with an enthusiastic smile and a heart-felt “hello!” It is a safe world for a small child or duckling to grow up in.
