![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Poppa and Elmer were able to spend all winter together and learn more about each other. In the end Elmer saw his poppa wounded, just like he had been different through out the book, Elmer differed from the norm of flying away and stayed with poppa and brought him to safety. Children and read this and realize they are not alone. I think this book is important because many kids have to go through bullying for being different, and the bullying sometimes even comes from their own parents. He was also bullied at school for being a sissy. His father is more worried about how others will see him then about his sons feelings when he calls Elmer a sissy. Elmer is a duck who likes to back and decorate cookies, and help around the house, but realized there were no other boy ducks who liked what he liked doing. With more and more children and young adults today realizing earlier about who they are attracted to, I think more books should have gay positive themes. The Sissy Duckling has been challenged for having gay positive themes. ![]()
