A Bird Named Bob: A Sage Retelling of "The Ugly Duckling"

By Kristen Joy Sage

Growing up as a light-skinned, half-Black, half-White child in a mostly Black community, Hans Christian Anderson’s story “The Ugly Duckling” struck a chord with me. When I moved into a mostly White community, it struck a nerve.
This past year has been one of change for all of us. We have seen a pandemic, a racial reckoning, and a world that is drowning and burning at the same time. Yet I have hope, because we are looking at the stories we have been telling ourselves, and choosing tell better ones.
So go forth, my story and give hope.
