About this listen

The eggs have hatched! And Mama Duck couldn't be prouder of her beautiful, fluffy yellow brood... except for the last one. He’s big, he’s grey, and he looks nothing like his siblings.

Ridiculed and rejected by his family and every creature in the barnyard, the "Ugly Duckling" sets off alone, determined to find a place where he can finally belong. His journey is cold, lonely, and full of hardship. He faces bullies, fear, and the harsh realities of winter, always feeling like the odd one out.

Will he ever find acceptance? Or is he doomed to wander alone forever, never knowing his true self?

Join us for this unforgettable tale of inner strength, resilience, and the power of self-discovery. It’s a touching reminder that true beauty comes from within, and sometimes, you just haven't met your flock yet!

(This episode is perfect for children who have ever felt different. It offers a gentle, beautiful lesson on empathy, kindness, and self-worth, ideal for listeners aged 5-10.)
