About The Book

The Hans Christian Andersen story about staying true to oneself, illustrated by the legendary European artist Bernadette Watts.

The ugly duckling, outcast and misunderstood by the other animals, goes on a journey to discover a place where he will fit in… only to become triumphant when he emerges as the most beautiful swan of all, always destined to stand out. Bernadette Watts's detailed illustrations chronicle the bittersweet story with charm and poignancy.
