Twins Hue and Hoa are excited for the May Day parade! While waiting at the park for the parade to begin, they spot a little duck who seems new to the neighbourhood - and looks confused by the crowd and commotion. How can the twins help the duck get to the pond? Many friends from the neighbourhood stop to say hello and offer suggestions. Teamwork, collective brainstorming and the duck's own inspiration finally help it reach its new home - with an entire community welcoming it with a parade! A celebration of a vibrant, multicultural neighbourhood that warmly welcomes newcomers from near and far, this story also encourages communal problem-solving and offers a gentle reminder of the deportation fears many children and families face.
