Part of the WellieWishers series
A chick hatches, and Emerson discovers the challenges of unexpected responsibility.
Emerson and her friends are excited when their hen, Queen Ruby, lays her first egg. But when the egg hatches, Queen Ruby seems clueless, leaving Emerson to care for the chick, Princess Peep. As the chick follows her everywhere, Emerson realizes that nurturing a tiny life is more demanding than she imagined. Can she rise to the challenge and keep their friendship strong? Join the WellieWishers in a heartwarming tale of friendship and responsibility.
From American Girl, meet the WellieWishers, a sweet and silly group of girls who each have the same big, bright wish: to be a good friend. Join them in playful early chapter books, as they step into their colorful garden boots, and get ready for stomping in mud puddles, putting on shows, and helping friendships grow. The WellieWishers are raising chickens! The girls are thrilled when their hen, Queen Ruby, begins laying eggs. But when the first egg hatches, Queen Ruby doesn’t seem to know what to do, so Emerson takes charge. Soon the tiny chick, Princess Peep, is following her everywhere. Caring for a chick is a bigger job than Emerson expected!
