Bookroo's summary

Peggy the hen's peaceful life is upended when a gust of wind carries her into a bustling city. Navigating unfamiliar streets, she encounters new friends and challenges. Can she find her way home, and will her taste for adventure change her forever? This charming tale of exploration and resourcefulness invites readers to ponder the joys and risks of stepping outside one's comfort zone.

From the publisher

Peggy the hen is contented with her quiet existence and daily routine. When a powerful gust of wind sweeps her up and deposits her in the midst of a busy city, she explores her new surroundings, makes new friends, and cleverly figures out how to get home–with a newly kindled appetite for adventure. Evocative full-color paintings follow Peggy’s journey, offering comical details that reward repeated viewing. This reassuring tale and its unruffled heroine invites discussions of exploration, safety, and resourcefulness.
