"A high-stepping tribute to friendships, musical and otherwise." - Kirkus Reviews
"Ella isn't any ordinary duck. She loves to sing and swing. The problem is, no one else in her family thinks doing those things is appropriate. Ella soon finds herself roaming the pond and trying to fit in with the other singing animals. She soon learns that fitting in can be difficult. It's only when she meets another "outcast" does she learn it's okay to make your own music and swing to your own beat. A picture book young readers will enjoy." - Warsaw Community Public Library


Ella is different from her brothers and sisters.
Less neat. And less sweet.
And she sings her own songs, all day long!
The other animals need time
to get used to it …



An inspiring picture book about music, friendship, and the courage to be yourself. For swinging music makers ages 4 and up.
