Davy and the duckling by Margaret Wild and Julie Vivas

The pairing of Margaret Wild and Julie Vivas is one to celebrate and cherish, and this latest addition to their canon does not disappoint. 

This is a heartfelt story of friendship between a boy and his duck - a friendship that lasts a lifetime. 

Vivas' exuberant illustrations perfectly reflect the warmth and emotions of the text. 

A joy to read and to share.
