NYC Launch Event | The True Ugly Duckling

Come learn about one of the greatest storytellers as welcome author SANDRA NICKEL for the NYC launch of her incredible, Kirkus-starred picture book, The True Ugly Duckling: How Hans Christian Anderson Became a Swan.

Structured like a fairy tale, it tells the true story of how a young, outcast boy travelled away from home to Copenhagen, the city of the King, and, after countless rejections and failures, rose to become one of the most influential children’s storytellers of all time.

This is an exhilarating story that genuinely feels like a fairy tale come true. With perfectly crafted prose and gorgeous papercut art, it’s a read that you and your young ones just can’t miss!
