The Sissy Duckling
Harvey Fierstein, Henry Cole
Elmer is not like the other boy ducklings. While
they like to build forts, he loves to bake cakes. While they like
to play baseball, he wants to put on the halftime show. Elmer is a
great big sissy.
But when his father is wounded by a
hunter's shot, Elmer proves that the biggest sissy can also be the
greatest hero.
Acclaimed actor and playwright Harvey
Fierstein has crafted a heartwarming story, based on his
award-winning HBO animated special, about learning to embrace the
special qualities we all possess. Henry Cole's gently humorous
illustrations give it a new vitality. This is a book to share with
all children, to help them understand that each one of them is
unique and valuable.
