A mother duck is thrilled as her eggs begin to hatch on a lovely summer day, but one egg takes longer than the rest. When it finally cracks, out comes a large, ugly duckling who looks nothing like his siblings. From that moment, the poor duckling is mocked, bullied, and shunned by all the animals on the farm. Heartbroken and lonely, he runs away and begins a long and painful journey through the wild, facing cruelty and hardship wherever he goes. But the seasons change, and so does the duckling. What surprise awaits him at the end of winter? Will he always be the outcast “ugly duckling,” or is there something extraordinary waiting just beneath the surface? Read this touching tale to discover how one misunderstood little bird finds out who he truly is.
