Chicken Feathers

(2) 4-6 Illustrated by David Elliot. Ten-year-old Josh's pregnant mother is in the hospital. At the same time, there's a fox threatening their farm's chickens--specifically stubborn, demanding Semolina, who talks only to Josh. The plot strands of baby-to-be and fox drama weave together naturally; a scene in which hundreds of chickens announce the birth of Josh's sister with a cacophonous chorus is a delicious moment of magic realism.
