The Ugly Duckling

The timeless story of an awkward little bird's search for acceptance. Born bigger and different than the other hatchlings, the ugly duckling is ridiculed by his brothers and sisters, rejected by the other ducks, and eventually shunned by his own mother. The little bird leaves his home, embarking on a brave journey through hecklers, hunters, and cruel seasons--only to discover that the beauty he was seeking was inside him all along.
