The Sissy Duckling is a children's picture book written by noted actor Harvey Fierstein and illustrated by Henry Cole. It is 40 pages long and intended for children ages 5–8.[1]

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.[2]
