'An adorable story from two of Australia's greats ... To's illustrations are gorgeous. Soft, textured and fun, they never fail to delight ... [Duckling Runs Away] reminded me of the space and independence our little ones sometimes need to forge their own identities and navigate the world. But it also reminded me not to dwell ... A joyful, entertaining and gorgeous read.' Kids' Book Review
