Praise for this book
"A warm, family saga expertly told and beautifully illustrated, with some of the most endearing ducks ever to waddle across the pages of a picture book ... It's sweet, but not sickly, and the youngest members of the family will love this comforting story."Kathryn Ross, THE SCOTSMAN
"A warm-hearted and reassuring story."Julia Eccleshare, THE GUARDIAN
"The sweet, comforting tone of Emmett's text will be as welcome as a favorite blanket at bedtime ... Harry's pastel illustrations, featuring fuzzy line-edges and warm, inviting tones, capture the brightness of a sunny day at the pond. And her fluffy ducklings are irresistible, sporting downy yellow feathers and wide orange beaks."PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
"Soft-edged forms and pastels create characters that mirror the lyrical language and calm tone of the story ... Children will love the repetition and simple language. Adults will appreciate the reassuring and timeless message of honoring one's own rhythm in growing up. This message is not new, yet has a freshness and life all its own."
