Sonya's Chickens

By Phoebe Wahl

Book Overview

Sonya raises her three chickens from the time they are tiny chicks. She feeds them, shelters them and loves them. Everywhere Sonya goes, her chicks are peeping at her heels. Under her care, the chicks grow into hens and even give Sonya a wonderful gift: an egg! One night, Sonya hears noises coming from the chicken coop and discovers that one of her hens has disappeared. Where did the hen go? What happened to her? When Sonya discovers the answers, she learns some important truths about the interconnectedness of nature and the true joys and sorrows of caring for another creature.

Customer Reviews

Had to buy it

We originally borrowed a copy of this book from the library, and we have since bought two as gifts and one for our family. The story is so sweet and gentle while dealing with the “love and loss” and responsibility of caring for animals. It is a perfect early glimpse into the facets of life. (I’m sorry, that’s so corny. But it’s true.) Oh, and the art is beautiful!
