First Chapter First Paragraph Tuesday Intros
The Hen Who Dreamed She Could Fly
by Sun-mi Hwang
I Refuse to Lay Another Egg!
The egg rolled to a stop upon reaching the wire mesh of the coop. Sprout looked at it—a chalky egg flecked with blood. She hadn’t laid an egg in two days; she doubted she could anymore. Yet there it was—one small, sad egg.
This cannot happen again, she thought. Would the farmer’s wife take it? She’d collected all the others, complaining every time that they were getting smaller and smaller. She wouldn’t leave this one behind just because it was ugly, would she?
“An anthem for freedom, individuality and motherhood featuring a plucky, spirited heroine who rebels against the tradition-bound world of the barnyard”. This short book seemed the perfect story to sit down and relax with after a few busy days of Thanksgiving Holiday prep.
What do you think? Would you keep reading?
