Chicks Rule!

Description

All in step with wing in wing . . . Chicks can conquer anything! Nerdy Chick has been waiting all day for the Rocket Club meeting. But when she gets there, she finds a disturbing sign tacked to the door: "NO CHICKS ALLOWED!!!" Puzzled, then baffled, then just plain mad, Nerdy Chick sets out to change the rules. Along the way, she meets other chicks who are just like her: passionate and determined. From Soccer Chick to Science Chick and Wordy Chick to Yoga Chick, these chicks aren't willing to take "NO" for an answer. They rally together, march to the barn at the center of town, and-when they hear "NO" once again-chart their own path forward (or, rather, up, up, and away!). A celebration of girl power and community action,Chicks Rule!is the playful, diverse, victorious anthem chicks everywhere will love.

"A fun and lively read-aloud about empowering girls, and a splendid example of what a community can accomplish when everyone is included."-- "School Library Journal" "Appropriately for her theme, Bardhan-Quallen's rhyming text has the rhythmic quality of a chant. Kurilla supplies paneled pictures of stubby little chicks of many colors, all frowning adorably with determination... There's no questioning its energy. I am woman, hear me peep."-- "Kirkus Reviews" "The upbeat tone will speak to all, as will the inclusive message that the chicks tape to the control panel of their rocket ship: 'Everyone allowed!'"-- "Booklist"
