The Book

Lili has noticed that she’s different from everyone around her… like she’s a tiger when everyone else seems to be a duck. Should she announce her discovery? She worries that the world doesn’t like tigers. What if no one likes tigers? Inspired by the author’s childhood and lived experiences, Duck, Duck, Tiger is a picture book which explores the difficulties those with marginalized identities face from an early age. Lili’s journey from uneasy feelings to understanding and pride will resonate with readers struggling with their own sense of otherness, championing inclusion.
