Duck is not like other ducks. Duck doesn't like water and is perfectly fine alone, thank you very much. But then, one dark and stormy night, an outgoing, water-loving, and very lost Frog turns up at Duck's door.
Can this odd couple find Frog's home? And will they find friendship along the way?
A wise, funny fable about how we don't need to like the same things to find our perfect pal.
'A wonderful, tender evocation of friendship and how its power can help you overcome your worst fears. A pure splash of joy.' The Daily Mail
