Petunia the platypus heads to her first party since arriving from Australia. She has the present, a party hat, and a pavlova, but it’s a costume party and she doesn’t have a costume! Everyone asks what she’s supposed to be: “Are you a duck?” “Do you have webbed feet?” “Can you lay eggs?” Even without a costume, Petunia stands out, and all of the other party guests give her a full-on identity crisis! Will she, with her weird quirks, ever fit in? For anyone who has ever felt out of place–from moving to a new country to moving to a new school–Quacks Like a Duck is a charming tale of acceptance and individuality that will have you laughing and embracing your own quirks and differences with pride.
Stephanie Campisi is an Australian-born, Califnoria-based children’s book author. She has slept in a cemetery, has a friend who was bullied by a prince, and has lived in a haunted house in a haunted town. Two of the three statements in the previous sentence are true. Or maybe they all are. Stephanie is the author of the picture books The Ugly Dumpling, Luis and Tabitha, Very Lulu and Five Sisters. Her fifth book, Quacks Like a Duck, will release in 2021. Stephanie is represented by Margaret Sutherland Brown of Folio Literary.
