Synopsis
“This book has the classic feeling of a modern-day Make Way for Ducklings. . . . Totally charming.” — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
What do you do when you’re little and lost and your legs feel all wobbly? For one tiny duckling, the trick is doing “One Step,” a surprising technique that enables him to walk under the tallest of trees and across the widest of fields. Using simple language and breezy, expressive illustrations, Simon James speaks directly to the heart of a child and shows that every journey, whatever its length, begins with a single step.

From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 2-Three ducklings find themselves lost and alone in a wood. The youngest one is fearful of the distance home and overwhelmed by longing for his mama. His older siblings persuade him to try a game of "One Step" to encourage him to keep walking. Step by step, he continues, after a practice loop, to follow his brothers, who bestow the name "Little One Step" on him. When he gets discouraged, his brothers rally him with a reminder to continue the game. Soon the determined duckling passes his brothers and leads them straight across woods and fields to their relieved mama. Children will delight in-and identify with-the youngest duckling who watches his feet the whole time and chants "One step-one step-." Abundant white space surrounds the line drawings suffus-ed with buttery yellow and peach watercolor tones. The blending of the straightforward text with the simple drawings and color scheme keeps the focus directly on the ducklings and their plight. This satisfying tale about perseverance will find an eager audience at storytimes, on a parent's lap, and with independent readers.
