Sometimes it takes a lot to get your webbed feet wet! An adorable picture book makes a splash with a satisfying story about conquering your fears. I cannot swim, and that is bad. A landlocked duck is very sad. One day, an egg rolled out of a nest and right into a deep pond. Now that egg is a little duck, and the water is still very scary. Jumping into the pond at all seems impossible, never mind swimming in a line with all his brothers. “You’re a duck, and ducks don’t sink,” Big Frog points out. Practicing in a puddle helps a little, while backrubs and snacks from his mother help a little more. Big Frog offers to hold his friend’s wing and dive in together, but our little duck knows that some challenges need to be faced alone. Even when they are very scary!

Ducks on the Pondis the unflinching personal story of Anne Summers, a woman who challenged the world she was given. Hers was a long journey through unfamiliar cities and a succession of low-paid typically female jobs before she emerged as a founding member of the Women's Liberation Movement, award-winning journalist and ultimately a key adviser to prime ministers Bob Hawke and Paul Keating. Her bookDamned Whores and God's Policewritten before she was 30, became a publishing sensation and helped change the way Australians, and especially women, see themselves. Anne Summers' story encompasses the conformity and repression of the 1950s, the political radicalism and rock music of the 1960s, and the sexual revolution, women's liberation and the Whitlam phenomenon of the 1970s. Written with wit and wry humour,Ducks on the Pondis a story of success and fulfilment achieved against considerable odds.
