My Life as a Chicken

Reach for this book when your child is facing a big change or feels like they do not quite fit into the 'box' others have built for them. It is an ideal choice for building resilience through humor, showing that even the smallest, most vulnerable creatures can take charge of their own destiny. This rollicking rhyming adventure follows Pauline, a plucky chicken who escapes a culinary fate only to face pirates and stormy seas before finding a home where she truly belongs. While the stakes are high, the jaunty rhythm and absurd situations keep the tone light and empowering for children aged 4 to 8. Parents will appreciate how the story validates feelings of fear while celebrating the grit required to keep going until you find your flock.
