The Chickens Build a Wall

32 pp. | Eerdmans | April, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8028-5422-3 $16.00
(3) K-3 When the chickens discover a hedgehog on the farm, they decide to build a protective wall around the henhouse. Upon the project's completion, they learn that they have enclosed the hedgehog. There's more to the book than that cute gag: it's about facing our fears of the unknown. Like the story, the art takes its time, inviting reflection--and smiles.
