A girl and a baby duckling grow together in their understanding of what it means to care for each other and learn that love means knowing when to let go. - Grand Central Pub
A heartwarming book for young children about the challenges and joys that come with giving and receiving love.
This beautifully illustrated book tells the moving story of a little girl and a duckling who both grow to understand what it means to care for each other as they learn that love is as much about letting go as it is about holding on.
When a little girl finds a duckling who has wandered away from the park onto the city streets, she takes it home to care for it. The baby duck requires constant attentionâearly morning feedings, bathing, and tidyingâuntil the time comes to say goodbye. When her pet has grown too big for the bath, the girl takes the full-grown duck back to the pond. Afterward, she misses it and wonders if it remembers her . . . until one day, the duck comes backâwith six ducklings of her own.
