Unhappy Duck

Learn a valuable lesson on the importance of being yourself with the help of an unhappy duck

This is the story of an unhappy duck. He does not want to be a duck, and he does not want to play duck games. When he sees a cat with a ball of string, he asks if he can play. But he is not a cat...or a dog...or a horse...or a pig. The more he tries to be like other animals, the more he recognizes that being anyone other than himself just isn't fun. When he sees a group of ducks in the pond, he asks if he can join them and finally understands just how happy he is to be a duck.

Young readers will delight in the humorous illustrations and are encouraged to see that true happiness comes from self-acceptance.
