Delly is a likeable duck, who sadly makes some poor choices and struggles to care for her ducklings in a consistently safe way.
The beautifully-illustrated story includes animal characters that may reflect common behaviours and responsibilities of several of the key people involved in an adoption process. No two adoption stories are the same, so symbolism has been used that is open to appropriate interpretation by the parent, kinship carer, social worker, play therapist, teacher or other adult reading this story with a child. The story can be used to help answer difficult and emotive questions, such as “Why can’t I live with my birth mother?” and “Why didn’t someone just teach her how to parent me safely?” See how a concerned goose tries to help Delly to learn how to care for the ducklings, in this sensitively-written adoption story.ĭelly Duck: Why A Little Chick Couldn’t Stay With His Birth Mother and this special siblings/twins edition are intended to help support and stimulate discussion around some of the questions an adopted or fostered child (or another child trying to understand adoption) may have. But she doesn’t really know how to keep eggs safe, or how to look after the ducklings when they hatch.
When Delly Duck lays two eggs, she is excited for them to hatch. By popular demand, Holly Marlow has created a special sibling/twin edition of her multi-award winning book, Delly Duck: Why A Little Chick Couldn’t Stay With His Birth Mother.
