PS
Dino Duckling (who's really a dinosaur) has always felt different from his family, but Mama Duck--speaking in rhyme throughout--encourages her ducklings to "celebrate their differences." He struggles with this when he can't fly south with them for the winter. This therapeutic reimagining of "The Ugly Duckling" stands out for its preschooler-friendly screenprinted illustrations that reflect the unconditional love of this unusual family.
