From award-winning creator Sergio Ruzzier, an oddball "squirrel" forges his own path in this comical tale about being yourself.

Custard the Squirrel, aren’t you a duck? Will you please quack? Will you do anything you don’t want to do?

"NO!" said Custard the Squirrel.

From the brilliant mind of author-illustrator Sergio Ruzzier comes this delightfully wacky story about rejecting others' expectations of who you should be and being unapologetically, authentically you. Simple, universal, and hilarious, this rollicking read-aloud is an ode to free spirits everywhere.
