You think you know the tale of the Little Red Hen. You think you know how it ends. But in this story everything changes when the hard-working Red Hen lays a perfect white egg.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The award-winning title will be translated into four new bilingual editions combining English and Tongan, English and Simplified Chinese, English and Samoan, and English and Te Reo Māori.

You think you know the tale of the Little Red Hen. You think you know how it ends. But in this story, everything changes when the hard-working Red Hen lays a perfect white egg. And out of this egg comes a chick with a mind of her own...

Here is a beautiful book with fantastic woodcut prints and lyrical text that turns the tale of the Little Red Hen upside down.
