Sonya's Chickens

PRAISE FOR Sonya's Chickens:

"A father's thoughtful explanation provides a helpful perspective for a child's loss.... There's an old-fashioned feel to this simple story and its timeless illustrations, created with watercolor, collage, and colored pencil and reminiscent of Goodnight Moon in mood, design, and palette.... Both words and illustrations emphasize comfort and the security a family can provide. But this is also a realistic description of chicken care, including preparing, cleaning, and repairing the coop, feeding the chickens, and making sure they have water and fresh straw--even finding eggs. A reassuring story about death in the natural world, thoughtfully designed and illustrated." - Starred Review, Kirkus Reviews
