A mother duck is sleeping so soundly, she does not hear her duckling egg's hatch. The ducklings take off to explore their world. When she awakens, she frantically goes in search of all seven. Along the way, she adds some other lost babies to her brood. When, she counts, she is surprised that she has more than when she started. She takes all thirteen back to her nest.

Cate’s story will delight all readers. Cate shares a sweet story of belonging that demonstrates the truth of a "mother heart" for all lost creatures. The adorable illustrations could not get any better. Such a fun read and good reminder for all.
