Description

A duckling mocked for being different endures scorn and loneliness until growth reveals a swan, while companion Andersen tales widen wonder around identity and belonging. Outsider pain turns toward unexpected grace. Spoken as when the ugly duckling still asks what cruelty misses before beauty arrives.
