Tonight I will be reading the famous classic fairy-tale called The Ugly Duckling, by Hans Christian Anderson. A tale of a duckling who is discriminated by his family and fellow barnyard animals because he does not look like them. This tales leans towards the theme of bullying and discrimination and the importance of being true to yourself. May this storytelling help you drift off peacefully!
