Darcy Is Always First: When Siblings Fight

A little duckling learns that being first isn’t always best.

Darcy Is Always First: When Siblings Fight

Darcy Duck is convinced she should be first at everything, even though she’s only a few seconds older than her siblings, Delia and Denny. As the ducklings compete for turns, hurt feelings and anger quickly pile up—until a visit from their grandparents shows them the importance of patience, fairness, and looking out for one another. Edited by counselor Lauren Whitman, this story is part of the Good News for Little Hearts series, which brings gospel wisdom and biblical counsel to families. Through real-life animal family situations, children are encouraged to grow in empathy, understanding, and a relationship with Jesus.
