The Ducklings Sculpture

The ducklings by Nancy Schön is a popular attraction in Boston Public Garden. It is said the Ducks never need professional polishing because children sit on them so often.

Based on the book: Make Way for Ducklings, a children's picture book written and illustrated by Robert McCloskey. First published in 1941, the book tells the story of a pair of mallard ducks who decide to raise their family on an island in the lagoon in Boston Public Garden
