PS
When three ducklings get lost, the littlest says his legs feel "all wobbly" and he can't go on. His older brothers encourage him to put one foot in front of the other and say, "One step." Repeating this mantra over and over, he leads them home. Expressive ink and watercolor illustrations in pale yellow and muted orange match the gentle, optimistic story.
