Anyone who has ever felt “different” will understand what it feels like to be Ugly the Duck. He doesn’t look like any of his family flock and only his mama understands how lonely he is down on the farm. When a terrible blizzard hits, however, Ugly discovers there’s much more to him than anyone thought. With clever, inspiring songs and a whole lot of heart, this charming reimagining of “The Ugly Duckling” will quack you up and bring a smile to your beak!
