When an odd duck, which looks very much like a bunny, pops out of a shell in Mother Duck’s nest, she is astonished but not put off. Not to worry, says Mother Duck. He’ll grown into a fine feathered duck when he grows up! This is her explanation for all the other oddities she discovers: he can’t swim; he has fur where feathers should be; he likes fruits and vegetables rather than worms; he has whiskers; and he hops instead of walks. When he grows up, he still can’t do any of the things a duck can do. But, he can do one thing very well - dye eggs! Proud of her odd duck of a son, Mother duck realizes that not everyone is like every other one. Their talents might lay hidden inside of their dreams. Yet everyone is worthy of dreams it now seems.
