The Woodcutter's Duck

When your child is struggling with fairness or has seen someone act with greed, this book offers a reassuring tale where kindness wins. It tells the story of Bartek, a humble woodcutter whose compassion for a Frog King earns him a magical duck. When a powerful commander steals the duck, Bartek must rely on his courage and the loyalty of his friend to see justice done. This classic Polish folktale beautifully illustrates that goodness and empathy are more powerful than greed and authority. Its stunning, Caldecott Honor-winning folk-art illustrations make it a visually rich experience for children ages 4 to 8.
