Duck! Rabbit!

Two unseen voices look at the same picture and argue back and forth — one insists it's a duck, the other swears it's a rabbit — and neither one budges.

For the kid who argues that they're right even when the evidence is staring them in the face, this book turns that exact standoff into the whole point.

• Big idea: The same picture can look completely different depending on how you look at it — and that doesn't mean either side is wrong.
• Vibes: Playful, back-and-forth, a little stubborn, endlessly re-readable.

• enjoy picking a side and defending it
• like to argue their point until someone listens
• are working on seeing things from someone else's perspective
• respond well to simple, snappy back-and-forth dialogue

• Imagination: When you look at the picture, do you see a duck or a rabbit first?
• Perspective-taking: Why do you think the two voices keep disagreeing about the same picture?
• Real-life connection: Have you ever argued with someone about something and later saw it their way?
• Story & problem-solving: Do you think there's a way for both voices to be right?
• Feelings & empathy: How do you think it would feel if nobody agreed with what you saw?
