Odd Duck Out

A sweet story about being different and learning to embrace your own unique talents. For odd ducks ages 3 years and up. Ducks chitter, jabber, and quack. They always have. They learn from their parents as soon as they hatch, just like dogs learn to bark and cows learn to moo. But when Buddy tries to imitate the other ducklings, only a loud WOOF! comes out . . .

About the author

Susie Oh spent her early years wrangling goats and chickens in rural South Korea before boarding a plane for a new life in New York. One of her first memories of the city was a pilgrimage to the iconic library on Fifth Avenue: guarded by two marble lions, it was a temple to books. Susie loved books before she knew a word of English; she loved the tactile rustling of pages, the rhythm of the spoken word, and, most of all, the art. She studied illustration in college while volunteering in the America Reads program, and now she teaches English as a New Language. With her passion for art, storytelling, and teaching, Susie hopes to create books that help early readers develop their own communication skills.
