When Granny Duck Vickie passes away, the pond grows still-and the ducklings' hearts ache with questions they don't know how to ask. Why did she have to go? Will the sadness ever stop? Each little duckling feels grief in a different way-one in denial, one angry at the world, another trying to bargain, and one simply lost in tears.
Then Granny Duck Shelby steps in with gentle wings and a wise heart. She helps each duckling name what they're feeling and reminds them that every emotion-no matter how big or small-is part of love. Through her patience and kindness, she guides them through the stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, sadness, and, finally, acceptance. And in that tender moment of understanding, the ducklings realize that acceptance doesn't mean saying goodbye forever, It means carrying Granny Duck Vickie's love within them, always.
