Chicken Lily

40 pp. | Holt | March, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-1-62779-120-5 $16.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Nina Victor Crittenden. Shy and cautious chick Lily is nervous to read her poem in front of the class at the Grand-Slam Poetry Jam. The sweet story, rife with chicken-related puns, emphasizes that there's no shame in being chicken sometimes, if you're brave when it matters. Crittenden's soft but defined watercolor, pen, and ink illustrations portray an amiable farm-animal cast.
