Megaduck (Megaduck and Friends)

By: Jo Overend

In a world of tiny shrews and mini mice, Megaduck is as tall as the trees (with a heart to match) Every young reader, no matter how little, will fall in love with this endearing character who just wants to fit in.

Can the biggest duck around find his place in the world--where he can stand tall and celebrate everything he is? Megaduck's favorite thing to do is lie under the stars, because they make him feel small, like his friends. But he's different from the others, and when he tries to join in their games, he never seems to win. Even everyday things can be hard, and sometimes Megaduck wishes he could disappear. He wonders what it must be like to hold hands with his friends, to read under a tree, or to hide in a place where no one can see him. And one day, thanks to his kind, accepting pals and a surprise that he didn't see coming, Megaduck makes a life-changing discovery. Jo Overend makes her author-illustrator debut with this heartwarming picture book featuring her vibrant, cozy art.
