Credit: James White/Trunk Archive When a brightly colored mandarin duck popped up in New York City s Central Park two years ago, many people took notice including legendary performer Bette Midler. The idea that this glamorous, exotic bird suddenly appeared in the midst of one of the hardest, least natural cities in the world, and that his very presence stirred something in people, was very moving to me, says Midler, who recently starred in the second season of the Netflix series The Politician. She added dramatic flair to the duck s arrival in her first children s book, The Tale of the Mandarin Duck: A Modern Fable. In the story (which includes photos by book critic Michiko Kakutani), New Yorkers stare at their phones as if nothing else existed until they learn about the duck and want to see it for themselves. We asked Midler all about her exciting new picture book tale.
