Small neighbors. A big problem.
How do you save your home when no one can know you live there?
Deep in a Massachusetts marsh, the Marshwiggles are trying to keep their village safe. But curious humans are wandering closer, trampling Graham’s vegetable gardens and threatening the quiet world the villagers depend on.
Mayor Magnus knows that protecting the village means helping humans care about the marsh itself. Berry has an idea: show them the remarkable wildlife living right under their noses.
With Graham beside her, Berry sets out to photograph the marsh’s birds and bring its beauty to human attention. But getting the message across will take more than a good picture. There are nighttime missions, watchful dogs, and a secret that must stay hidden.
Can the smallest neighbors inspire a change big enough to protect them all?

Wood Ducks, Black Rails, and a fragile marsh habitat give families something to talk about long after the story ends.
A little at a time
Twelve short chapters make space for shared reading, a chapter before bed, or one more adventure on a quiet afternoon.
From one generation to the next
A family’s stories keep growing.
The Marshwiggles began in stories shared by Lewis Henry Diggs III, lovingly known as Grandee, and Gwendolyn Bernice Diggs. Grandee dreamed of bringing these little creatures to children through books.
Teressa L. Diggs carries that dream forward with Protecting the Village, following Heather, Davy and the Marshwiggle and Decoy Squad. Her background in elementary education and her love of family storytelling bring warmth and curiosity to this newest adventure.
