PEEP! A duckling attaches itself to the first thing it sees—a warmhearted young boy—in this charming book about friendship and change.
The duckling follows the boy home, and soon the two are inseparable. But the duckling is growing up. And one day...QUACK! A flock of ducks flies by, and the boy realizes with a great pang of sorrow that his friend will have to return to live among its own kind. A heartwarming twist ending adds to the delight.
Kevin Luthardt's deceptively simple story features charming, colorful illustrations along with humor, emotion, and limited text to tell a special tale of friendship, change, and the importance of learning to let go of something you love.

"Luthardt does a lot with a little in this delightful book starring a little duck." —Booklist
"[Luthardt] invests every scene with a visual and emotional depth that draws in the audience." —Publishers Weekly
"The flat, full-bleed illustrations have well-defined lines, and the art conveys a lot of feeling in its simplicity. The somber colors suit the tale, which is both bittersweet and heartwarming." —School Library Journal
