Henrietta and the Golden Eggs

64 pp. | Godine | March, 2003 | Trade ISBN 1-56792-210-4 $$16.95
(3) 1-3 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.
