Another warm and funny picture book by award-winning author-illustrator, Alex Latimer- repeat readings requested by our 4 year old granddaughter.

Four chickens are eagerly waiting for their eggs to hatch.

Philomena’s chick is first. She is big and strong and seems born to be an athlete. Hilda’s chick shows immediate promise as a scientist. Karen’s chick is a talented artist. However, when Barbara’s chick hatches, it is . . . well, just a chick.

But Barbara thinks her chick, Marigold, is perfect. Barbara loves Marigold, not because she is talented or strong, but because she is hers and that is what makes her special! She simply wants her chick to be herself.
