Henny by Elizabeth Rose Stanton


Henny is a very special chicken. Instead of wings, Henny has long, skinny human arms. Sometimes Henny likes her arms, like when she is climbing a tree or hugging her mom. At other times, like when the rest of the farm animals laugh at her, she doesn't like them very much at all. One day, Henny realizes that her arms can be really useful on a farm and begins to help the farmer. She stops caring about not fitting in, and starts to imagine all of the things she can do with these wonderful arms like using chopsticks to pick up her food, hailing a taxi, and maybe even becoming a pilot and flying a plane.
Henny teaches the importance of loving yourself not just in spite of your differences, but because of them!
