Harvey Fierstein wrote this cartoon fable about Elmer, a sensitive duckling whose schoolmates tease him for being a sissy. However, after his unusual talents help him save a life, the other members of the flock learn to respect him as he is.—Steven Capsuto
Elmer is an unusual young duckling who doesn't quite fit in with the rest of the flock. But that doesn't mean he's a sissy--or that he can't be a hero to his family.
