My duck - Tanya Linch

A little girl at school is told to write a story. But she finds it hard to think of exciting things to write about - and her teacher doesn't always like what she has to say which means she has to think of something else to write about.

But one of the stories that the little girl writes in school doesn't behave quite as it should and soon Duck is off having its own story come true. Then Duck is joined by a little girl with one wing and before the heroine knows what is happening her story has a life of its own.

A charming and delightfully surprising story about writing stories that reminds all readers, young and old, not to underestimate the power of the imagination.

Tanya Linch lives in London with her husband and young son. She says this picture book is based on her own memories of childhood. This is her first book for Bloomsbury.
