The Pretty Duckling: A sparkly retelling of The Ugly Duckling

By Sonbeam Books

Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's The Ugly Duckling , The Pretty Duckling is a dazzling retelling of the beloved classic. When Peony hatches from the biggest egg in the nest, she's not like the other ducklings. While Mama Duck adores her, the rest of the barnyard doesn't know what to make of someone so different. Roosters grumble, pigs pout, and even the barn cat gives her the side-eye. She's just too sparkly! Peony doesn't understand why being pretty makes everyone act so weird. So, she sets off on a journey to find a place where she can simply be herself--sparkles and all--determined to find where she truly belongs. The Pretty Duckling is a feel-good story about finding where you belong. Perfect for readers ages 4-8 who love stories with heart, humor, and just the right amount of glitter.
