Winner of the 2020 Northern Lights Book Award Honoring Children’s Literature of Exceptional Merit
PACKED with 22 fun facts about chickens!
Gwen the Rescue Hen is the heart-warming story of a quick-witted chicken who discovers the joy of being a hen after she’s sprung from an egg-laying farm, and finds her way to a boy named Mateo.
Gwen has spent her whole life in a big egg-laying hen house, so she knows very little about what chickens can do (besides lay eggs, of course). A fateful tornado turns her world upside-down and sideways, landing her in a strange new place that’s nothing like the hen house.
Using her wits and chicken superpowers, Gwen dodges danger at every turn until she finds safety and friendship with a boy named Mateo. Together they discover how extraordinary an ordinary chicken really is.
The book includes a bonus section called More About Chickens, where curious readers can learn that chickens have extraordinary eyesight, a complex language of 24 sounds, and are descended from dinosaurs, among other fun facts about chickens.
