A warm, comforting story about a cross little duckling and her mother's unconditional love, from the award-winning and bestselling team behindThe Sloth Who Came To Stay.

Duckling is running away and she's never, ever coming back! Or is she?
Luckily, no matter how far Duckling roams, a mother's love is always near.

A reassuring story about love and trust from bestselling author Margaret Wild, with sweetly charming illustrations by Vivienne To.

'An adorable story from two of Australia's greats ... To's illustrations are gorgeous. Soft, textured and fun, they never fail to delight ... [Duckling Runs Away] reminded me of the space and independence our little ones sometimes need to forge their own identities and navigate the world. But it also reminded me not to dwell ... A joyful, entertaining and gorgeous read.' Kids' Book Review
