Willow Tree Lake - Rose English;Kirsti Vass

A cheeky swan, new experiences

and unlikely friendships.

We all know the story of the

Ugly Duckling. Well, that was not Calvin.

This tiny cygnet is anything but ordinary.

He is brave, adventurous and determined.

The 'Calvin the Swan' series will introduce children to the 'Swan Prince'. We will follow this baby bird on his journey of exploration, making new friends, learning about the home he lives in and having lots of new experiences. Calvin has a loving family and his father the King is the perfect role model, who rules over their home with a gentle wing.

This updated version 'Willow Tree Lake' brings together Calvin's story and that of his best pal Bartholomew Drake a little duck with a limb difference. The book also includes a few basic facts about mute swans and mallards.

Inspired by the true events of an unlikely friendship between a juvenile swan and a long-legged human.
