Once upon a time, upon a nest, beside a lake, there lived two ducks. A mother duck and a father duck.

There were five eggs in the nest. One day the eggs began to hatch… all but one. The fifth egg did nothing. ‘It will’, said mother duck. ‘In its own time’.

This is the story of how Ruby grew up... in her own time. Based on the heart-warming story by Jonathan Emmett, this tale uses stunning scenery, handmade puppets that look as if they have strolled off the pages of the book and original music.
