“When mother duck’s eggs hatch, she has five, fluffy, yellow ducklings and one big, grey duckling. He is different and the other ducklings are not kind to him. Will he ever find a friend? He is sad and lonely until one spring day something wonderful happens.”

This little book is produced by Purple Pomegranate Press as part of their “send a storybook as a card” series. Elspeth Tavaci invited me to illustrate her retelling of Hans Christian Anderson’s fairy tale for a book designed to help teach English abroad (published later in 2019).

This version is a beautifully printed miniature book which can be posted, using a normal letter stamp, and has space to write a message to the recipient.

*23 Pages printed on heavyweight textured paper.

*For Wholesale enquiries please contact Elspeth at Purple Pomegranate Press info@purplepomegranate.co.uk. You can also find her on stand 153 at BCTF Harrogate, April 7-9th 2019.
