It follows the story of Elmer, a duckling who is mocked for being a "sissy" but who ultimately proves his bravery. It was made into an HBO children's special in 1999 three years before the book was released, with Fierstein as the voice of Elmer the Duckling. The special was nominated for the GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Individual Episode.
