Nancy Tafuri is probably best known as the creator of Have You Seen My Duckling?, a 1985 Caldecott Honor Book described by Parent’s Choice as beautifully precise yet emotionally affecting. Trained as a graphic designer, Tafuri has authored more than 45 books over 30 years for the very young. When Tafuri first attempted picture book illustration in the late 1970’s picture books were aimed at five-, six-, and seven-year-olds. Tafuri’s images were considered too graphic for children that age.

The fun thing is that, if you look, you will find where the duckling i. here are few words in this book, so be aware of the reading level (baby-preschool). It is excellent group reading, as the children get so excited when they see the duckling and Mommy Duck doesn't. Thanks Nancy for the legacy. Delightful illustrations for children!
