{"product_id":"the-ugly-duckling-2","title":"The Ugly Duckling","description":"A gorgeous, Caldecott Honor-winning version of the classic story\nFor over one hundred years The Ugly Duckling has been a childhood favorite, and Jerry Pinkney's spectacular adaptation brings it triumphantly to new generations of readers.\nWith keen emotion and fresh vision, the acclaimed artist captures the essence of the tale's timeless appeal: The journey of the awkward little bird—marching bravely through hecklers, hunters, and cruel seasons—is an unforgettable survival story; this blooming into a graceful swan is a reminder of the patience often necessary to discover true happiness. Splendid watercolors set in the lush countryside bring the drama to life in this hardcover picture book.\nJerry Pinkney was \"widely acclaimed for his picture books honoring his Black heritage as well as for his richly detailed works reimagining well-loved fairy and folktales,\" noted Publishers Weekly. His version of The Lion \u0026amp; the Mouse by Aesop was awarded the Caldecott Medal, and his books also received five Caldecott Honor citations. He was recognized with two lifetime achievement awards: the Laura Ingalls Wilder Award (now known as the Children’s Literature Legacy Award) and the Coretta Scott King Virginia Hamilton Award.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 068815932X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: RDV.068815932X.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Hans Christian Andersen|Jerry Pinkney\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This book is in excellent condition.
