Author: Russ Towne

Genre: Children’s Picture Book

Publisher: Russ Towne

Book Blurb: Wilbur Mallard is a very odd duck. He is bright orange with purple spots and a great big bright purple thing-a-ma-jig on top of his head. Every time Wilbur tries to fly, that thing-a-ma-jig spins him upside down! When he tries to land, he always ends up bouncing, somersaulting, and finally crashing or splashing in a heap. Ducks aren’t built to fly upside down, so Wilbur has to work much harder than the other ducks to fly. Poor Wilbur! But these challenges and differences help Wilbur in many ways. Find out how as you join him on this great and exciting adventure that will make many warm memories and hearts of all ages smile.

Except:

When Wilbur turned he saw the friendliest face he’d ever seen. She quacked, “Hi, I’m Eileen.” Wilbur was so nervous he could hardly quack, “H-H-I. I’m, uh, I’m Wilbur.”

“Nice to meet you,” she quacked back. “Why are you flying all alone?”

Wilbur shared his sad story. Eileen responded, “I’m sorry that happened. If you don’t mind, I’d like to fly with you.” “Really? That would be great!” Wilbur quacked excitedly. “But, aren’t you afraid to fly with someone who looks so funny and flies upside down? I know I’m a very odd duck.”

Eileen said, “You are different, but that’s one of the things I like about you. Most ducks look alike and fly alike. You are special because you aren’t like all the rest.” Wilbur smiled. He had never thought about it like that before.
