Description

Chico wishes he could be brave like the legendary Golden Chicken and has an unexpected adventure when he sets out to find him.

Quick Summary

When tiny Chico the chicken overhears townsfolk chanting about the mighty Golden Chicken, he struts off on a wild quest to find this legendary hero, convinced he needs a superpower to matter. Kids will giggle at Chico's comical mishaps along the way and root for him as he learns that real heroism isn't about being the biggest or strongest, but about being true to yourself. Fans of "The Bad Seed" and other animal stories with big hearts will love this feathery underdog who proves that even the smallest beak can make a big difference. Ideal for kindergarten through third graders who are ready for short chapter books with silly illustrations and a heartwarming message about finding your own courage.
