From the Series A Harmony of Friends

  • Interest Level: Kindergarten - Grade 3

Duck is a solo act. He loves the peace and solitude of his beachside home, strumming his ukulele beneath the stars.

After helping stranded band players Bear, Fox, and Seagull fix their broken-down tour van, he has tons of fun playing songs and hanging out with his new friends. Maybe he could ask the Band if they want to play with him again. But why would they want to be friends with Duck? When Seagull gets sick, it looks like the concert will get canceled. Or will Duck drum up the courage and accept Bear’s invitation to join the Band? Will Duck help his new friends out?

“There’s much to appreciate about the cozy, domestically focused art and the way Douglass destigmatizes social anxiety.”—Publishers Weekly
