Adams sweetly describes all the ways love translates into care for others through the lens of a little girl raising a duckling. A tender way for children to peek into the experience of parents and adult caregivers. Keane's illustrations are clean and fresh and feel straight out of a mid-century animated Disney film (in the best way).

I want to add this book to my collection. Enough said.

It captures life so well. Falling in love with something (as this little girl does with a duckling) and showering it with all the love in the world. But then knowing that there comes a time when you have to let go.....but maybe, just maybe, that love will return to you.

I think parents might enjoy this more than the children. But that's alright. However, the cuteness of both the little girl AND the duck just might win people over as well. ( )

Absolutely beautiful illustrations and full of feeling. A little sad, a lot sweet. ( )

This was such a sweet book, I truly enjoyed it. The book is about a little girl who has a pet duck that she really loves. She goes throughout the book showing what love is to her. The ending is super sweet!
