Illustrated by
Elisabeth Holstien.
Published spring 1998. Appealing vignettes rendered in soft colored pencil and watercolors in delicate hues depict Duffle, a tiny duck whom other ducks tease because of his size. When Duffle rescues a duckling trapped in a small riverbank hole, however, his peers laud him for his uniqueness. This gentle tale emphasizes the importance of individuality and acceptance.
