Translated by John Barrett.
Illustrated by
Kathi Bhend.
Henrietta, one of 3,333 chickens in a dirty chicken house, persists in the pursuit of her dreams (to sing, to swim, to fly) despite the discouragement of her peers, and in so doing leads them all to a more humane existence. Exquisite black-and-white illustrations with a contrasting gold border capture Henrietta's exuberant personality. This original parable will appeal to older children and adults.
