“There once was a rooster and a hen. His name was Wes, and hers was Kenn. They wanted a baby, a sweet little friend, so they could pass down their legacy to them.”
Everything Is Green: A Fowl Daydream is a mysterious and exhilarating children’s book that follows two newborn baby chicks as they explore life on the farm for the first time. At home, the chicks are safe and warm with full bellies, loving parents, and a spacious nest—but after the chicks tuck in, things take a turn. The pair wakes up trapped in a fowl daydream where they’ve been caged by the Keeper of the Keys! Read along as the siblings work together to escape their frightening prison and free as many other birds as they can.
This story will remind your chicks that the grass isn’t always greener in the other coop. With a blend of educational facts about chickens and philosophical questions about their treatment, Everything Is Green will teach young readers to appreciate their wonderful home, empathize with others, and cherish the feathered (and non-feathered) members of their flock.
Driving through western Washington down a small-town road lined in evergreens, you might drive by our author’s home. Cassandra Mckenna and her partner, Jason, are growing there with their two children, who inspired this whole story. In Everything Is Green: A Fowl Daydream, Cassandra invites you into a world of both present and greener grass existences.
Cassandra spends life creating art, dancing, writing stories from dreams, and caring for creatures of many sizes. She loves to experiment with the flowers she plants in her garden, read to her kids, and spend quality time with her family, dogs, and birds.
