Synopsis

It is the first day of school, Duckie is very excited to make new friends, learn new things and discover the amazing world that we live in. But, Duckie finds out that ducks are supposed to quack and swim, and it can do neither! The animals find it so odd that they start to tease and chant, “Little Duck-Chicken!” Duckie does not like it and feels ostracised. It struggles to keep up and yearns to be a duck that quacks and swims, not a misfit. Will Duckie find the courage to accept who it is? Will the farm animals learn to accept it?
