Chickens In The Yard

Description

In a down-east land between the ocean and the mountains live Annie and her chickens in the yard. All-day long, from the moment Annie lets them out to wonder, we follow their actions all over the yard, the porch, the vegetable garden, and the grass. To be sure, there's a lot of pickin' and a-scratchin', a-runnin' and a hatchin' going on. This fully illustrated children's storybook introduces us to the chickens and shows us what happens daily in a sweet, funny, humorous way. Written in simple language, this book is the perfect length for read-aloud storytimes and is suitable for children 3 years and up. Children will want to read this book over and over again.

I write and draw under the pen and artist name Endreketta. A name given to me by my third-grade Spanish teacher in elementary school that has become my creative outlet. I have always enjoyed writing and drawing from an early age. Telling stories seems as natural as breathing to me. When my children were younger, our bedtime rituals nearly always included a quickly made up, off the top of my head tale to help them relax and fall asleep. I decided that I was going to write poetry and children's stories as a second career and have now realized that goal.
