Bookroo's summary

Duck, who prefers solitude and dry land, faces an unexpected challenge when a lost, water-loving Frog arrives at the door one stormy night. Together, they embark on a journey to find Frog's home. Will this unlikely duo discover the true meaning of friendship along the way? Dive into a heartwarming tale of unexpected connections and the joy of companionship.

From the publisher

See a duck take to the water of friendship in this gorgeously warm, funny book about the joy of making an unexpected connection. Duck is not like other ducks. Duck doesn’t like water and is perfectly fine alone, thank you very much. But then, one dark and stormy night, an outgoing, water-loving, and very lost Frog turns up at Duck’s door. Can this odd couple find Frog’s home? And will they find friendship along the way?
