Judyann Ackerman Grant and her family have raised numerous chickens as well as assorted cats, dogs, rabbits, birds, and goldfish on their farm in upstate New York. Ms. Grant was inspired to write Chicken Said, “Cluck!” by watching chickens scratch in the new-turned garden every spring. This is her first book.
Sue Truesdell has illustrated many children’s books over her two-decade career, including Betsy Byars’s I Can Read! series about the adventuresome Golly Sisters and Chicken Said, “Cluck!” by Judyann Ackerman Grant, winner of a Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor in 2009.
