This is Wanda the Wistful Duck. She wanted to go outside to play, but it was raining. I gave her rain boots, but she was still wistful because it was windy. So I made her a cape. She said that she did not really want to go outside, but would rather sit in the window looking outside wistfully.

Ducks…what are you going to do?

Make your own Wanda the Wistful Duck. You can decide to give her the optional rain boots and/or the optional cape. Maybe your Wanda will want to go outside and play, or maybe she will want to just gaze out the window wistfully.
