Description
A funny and fabulous picture book as wild and wonderful as Fran herself - for anyone who's not your average chook and has the courage to follow their dreams!
Most chickens make good business chickens. They're neat, arrive on time, and they take everything very seriously. Fran is not a good business chicken... But maybe, just maybe, that's okay.
