Description
Delly Duck is a heartwarming story about a duckling's journey to understand adoption. When Delly Duck lays an egg, she's excited to welcome a new chick, but she soon discovers that caring for it is more complicated than she thought. A concerned goose tries to guide her, but Delly makes some mistakes along the way. This story is designed to support and stimulate discussion around adoption and foster care, helping children (and adults) understand the complexities of these experiences. The beautifully illustrated tale features animal characters that reflect the roles of key people involved in the adoption process. The story is a gentle and relatable exploration of difficult questions, such as why a child can't live with their birth mother or why they need extra care. Delly Duck is a likeable character who learns valuable lessons about responsibility and caring for others.
