Title: Henny
Author/Illustrator: Elizabeth Rose Stanton
Publisher: Simon & Schuster Books For Young Readers
Ages: 4-8

 

“Henny was not a typical chicken. Henny was born with arms.”

 

Synopsis:

 

Sometimes it’s not easy being different. Sometimes people laugh at you. Sometimes you worry. A lot. And sometimes you discover there is something very special about being different.
 

Why you should read it:

 

This is a sweet story many children will be able to recognize themselves in. There will come a time in every child’s life when they wonder about how they will fit in and I like how spunky Henny doesn’t allow her differences to become a handicap. Instead she chooses to make a difference in her own little corner of the world and in the end, Henny creates a life where she can soar!

 

Like-O-Meter Rating: 5 out of 5…Grab it!
