Description
In this story for young children, the main character, a juvenile duck named Elmer, enjoys such non-traditional activities as baking and puppet shows and as a result he becomes the object of bullying and ridicule, even by his father, until an event occurs that changes the way the rest of the duck population views Elmer. The reviews of this children’s book describe this as “an incredibly empowering book for boys who’ve felt different or picked on” and “a parable in which individuals succeed when they stay true to themselves."
