Reach for this book when your child is standing on the periphery of a new experience, whether it is the edge of a swimming pool or the doorway of a new classroom. Through the relatable journey of a hesitant duckling, this story validates the very real anxiety that comes with trying something new while gently nudging the reader toward bravery. It is an ideal choice for toddlers and preschoolers who are observant but cautious. By focusing on the duckling's internal process of watching, wondering, and finally wading in, the book models how to move from fear to mastery at one's own pace. It is a comforting tool for normalizing the 'wait and see' approach to big life milestones.
