Reach for this book when your child feels the weight of 'fitting in' or feels discouraged because their interests dont match those of their peers. It is a gentle, humorous guide for children who march to the beat of their own drum. Duck tries to find his place in the busy, suit-and-tie world of the city, only to realize that a standard office job at a bank stifles his true spirit. Through Duck's journey, children learn that it is okay to walk away from what is expected to pursue what makes them feel alive. It is an ideal choice for validating a child's unique creative identity and building the confidence to say 'this isn't for me.' Suitable for ages 4 to 8, it offers a sophisticated yet accessible look at self-determination.
