I'm a duck / Eve Bunting ; illustrated by Will Hillenbrand.
One day, an egg rolled out of a nest and right into a deep pond. Now that egg is a little duck, and the water is still very scary. Jumping into the pond at all seems impossible, never mind swimming in a line with all his brothers. "You re a duck, and ducks don t sink," Big Frog points out. Practicing in a puddle helps a little, while backrubs and snacks from his mother help a little more. Big Frog offers to hold his friend s wing and dive in together, but our little duck knows that some challenges need to be faced alone. Even when they are very scary!
