Illustrated by
Tiphanie Beeke.
A lonely kazoo-playing duck heads south and makes new friends. When he gets homesick, the friends accompany him back, to the tune of the trusty kazoo. The simple, jaunty verse with a punctuating "zu zu" refrain beckons listener participation. The watercolor palette ranges from cool and pale to warm and vibrant, reflecting seasonal change and the shift from sadness to joy.
