Synopsis

When a ginormous egg hatches in Mama’s nest, the newborn chick is not like the other ducklings. The other hatchlings make fun of this funny duck – her size, her beak, and her weird “screak!” Her siblings laugh every time she tries to act more like them. How could Mama love such a strange duckling? Even though Mama does indeed love her very much, the ginormous duckling is still very sad. Will she learn to accept what makes her different?
In this colorful, prehistoric retelling of Hans Christian Andersen’s classic story, The Ugly Duckling is a timeless tale of learning to love yourself for who you truly are.

About Hans Christian Andersen

Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen (1805–1875) originally trained as a singer and actor, but he gained fame with his fairy tales, which were not meant merely for children but for adults as well. Andersen frequently used a colloquial style that disguises the sophisticated moral teachings of his tales. Many of Andersen's fairy tales depict characters who gain happiness in life after suffering and enduring conflicts. "The Ugly Duckling" and "The Little Mermaid" are Andersen's most intimate works. A playwright and novelist as well as the author of children's tales, Andersen publications include the novels The Improvisatore and Only a Fiddler, as well as his personal memoirs, The Fairy Tale of My Life.
