Let’s Express Ourselves 

Each page takes the ducklings to a new, activity-filled place. These may remind your child of adventures they’ve already had—or inspire you to plan new ones.

Choose a place together and plan a family outing. Encourage your child to describe the activities they would enjoy doing there.

Dear Parents, 

Dunya is a little chick living inside an egg, beginning her journey of discovering herself and exploring her surroundings for the very first time. The book invites us into the child’s early developmental world, where they start to learn about their body, their emotions, and their personal boundaries, before expanding outward to understand others around them. 

The story reflects key stages of psychological and cognitive growth. It encourages thinking, questioning, and meaningful conversations about important concepts such as curiosity, exploration, independence, and the difference between personal and public space. 

Through this journey, children begin to understand their identity, develop self-awareness and sensory awareness, and learn to express themselves.

We can think together why the alligator chose the giraffe to be his friend. Among our friends, do we have “giraffes” who are totally different from us? Why do we love them?
