Inhaltsangabe

A tender sibling story about how we make unlikely friendships as seasons shift and hearts grow.

A sweet picture book for ages 3 to 7 where friendships with ducks helps a boy face change and appreciate his growing sibling bond.

Nothing feels the same after a young boy moves to a new place. He misses his friends, but he finds new friendship with 41 ducks. They don’t act like his friends, but they have their own quirks as they waddle and quack their way into his heart as he loves and nurtures them.

Mom warns that the ducks will fly south for the winter, and the boy hopes they might want to stay. But you can't fight nature. His bird friends fly away, and he’s all alone again. Or is he?

A heartwarming picture book about moving and the unlikely friendships found only through change in their lives.

"A lovely story! Gentle, delicate, with a calm energy and carefully handled emotional moments."—Jessixa Bagley, award-winning creator of Boats for Papa and Laundry Day
