Davy and the duckling

Australia's most enduring picture-book creators, Margaret Wild and Julie Vivas, have created this picture book for children aimed at younger readers. A story about constancy, growing up, legacy and love. This ebook edition includes read-along-audio with highlighting of words as they are read.

When the duckling hatches, Davy is the first person it sees. The duckling follows him everywhere – around the farmyard, under the apple tree and all the way home. As Davy grows up, gets married and has a family of his own, the duck remains his greatest friend and companion. And when Davy's daughter, Molly, is born, the duck takes her under its wing with the same love and devotion it has shown Davy. Molly follows the duckling - around the farmyard, under the apple tree and all the way home.

This is a gentle, touching story about the love between a little boy and the duckling that stays with him all of its life. It's a story about constancy, growing up, legacy and love. Aimed at younger readers, the reassuring text by Margaret Wild is accompanied by warm, vibrant illustrations from well-known and highly regarded illustrator Julie Vivas.
