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 attention--early morning feedings, bathing, and
tidying--until 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 back--with six ducklings of her own.
