"A farmyard duck
named Baldwin is orphaned when a crafty fox kills his best friend.
Later, he meets Drucilla, a mallard hen, who is shot from the sky
by a hunter. Baldwin,
Drucilla, and their thirteen children devise a plan to capture the fox.
But it's the secret he keeps from his family that prevents
Baldwin from finding true happiness.
Baldwin's story is for
young and old - for parents and teachers, and especially for their first
chapter book. It can be
used to discuss such topics as loss, grief, family life, independence,
and self-esteem."
