My Kite Is Stuck! And Other Stories

Salina Yoon

Big Duck, Little Duck, and Porcupine star in a set of short stories about three friends. Across the stories, they deal with forgotten ingredients, a new friendship, and a kite that gets stuck. Their situations give the friends problems to face together, from working out what to do when something is missing to responding to a new relationship and handling the stranded kite. Bold illustrations, recurring words, and repetition accompany these brief episodes, which return to the everyday adventures and shared challenges of the three friends.
