In this tenderly funny book, when a little girl meets a lost duckling, it's love at first sight! The pair are soon inseparable, but that doesn't mean there aren't challenges as they clash over midnight feedings, messes, and bathtime. But as both girl and duckling grow, they also grow in their understanding of what it is to care for each other, discovering that love is as much about letting go as it is about holding tight. And, after the young duckling grows up and sets off on her own, both discover how love often deepens over time when she returns the following year to visit the girl with her own ducklings in tow.
Perfect for Valentine's Day -- or any tender moment -- this story of a girl and a duckling who share a touching year together will melt hearts old and young. Children and parents together will adore this fond exploration of growing up while learning about the joys of love offered and love returned
