Illustrated by
John Butler.
Being the smallest of the flock does not prevent a newborn chick from climbing high, running fast, peeping loudly, and finding the biggest seed. Mama Hen explains to the other animals that her little chick is "just big enough!" Double-page spreads in soft yellow and tan acrylics and colored pencils create an idyllic farmyard that reflects the text's lyrical cadences.
