Starting with the classic “the Ugly Duckling”, and drawing from her own experiences in an adoptive world, artist Kristin Ward brings to life the tale of one “strange duck” and her quest for belonging. Laugh, cry and dance as the main character – Essie – learns that to find where you belong, sometimes you have to look with your heart.
