Bookroo's summary

Little Chicken's day takes an unexpected turn when his curiosity leads him astray. As he navigates the unfamiliar, he discovers that even when lost, family is never far. Will he find his way back to Mama Chicken, or will his adventure teach him something new about home? This heartwarming tale, filled with humor and emotion, reminds us that help is always just a cluck away.

From the publisher

I hear you cluckin’, Big Chicken! That’s the simple refrain that Little Chicken repeats to his mama throughout a typical day. But Little Chicken can be distractable . . . and when he wanders off and gets lost, the day becomes anything but typical. With subtlety and humor, this sweet little story sweeps through a wide range emotions using the simplest of language. From husband and wife team Katie and Jerry Davis, this is a little book with a huge heart. The perfectly minimal illustrations and spare text belie the enormous message at its core: that with family, help is always just a cluck away.
