Book Synopsis
It's a hard life for the hens at their chicken farm, in the crowded cages, and one little hen becomes too tired to lay even one more egg. But then - "We'll take care of you, little hen. We're taking you home with us!" What a difference! Now there's grass, worms, bugs, puddles, friends and - FREEDOM. The little hen is given a name - Gwen - and a rainbow colored vest to keep her warm while her feathers grow back. Little Gwen is so happy in her new home, and one day she gives everyone a wonderful surprise.... This delightful picture book with captivating illustrations is a perfect, gentle introduction to animal rights and well-being.About the Author
