Klappentext

A heartwarming and humorous picture book celebrating unconditional love, self-acceptance, and being yourself , this delightful story from award-winning author and illustrator Alex Latimer reminds young readers that everyone is special in their own unique way.

Four proud chickens are eagerly waiting for their eggs to hatch, each wondering what their chick will be like. When the eggs begin to crack, it quickly becomes clear that these are no ordinary chicks. One shows impressive athletic talent, another displays a brilliant scientific mind, and a third reveals a remarkable gift for art.

But when Barbara's chick finally emerges, she doesn't appear to have any extraordinary talents at all. She's simply Marigold - a cheerful little chick learning about the world around her.

While others focus on achievements and abilities, Barbara sees something much more important. She loves Marigold exactly as she is. Not because she's the fastest, smartest, or most talented, but because she's her chick. Through Barbara's unwavering support, Marigold learns that she doesn't need to be anyone else to be valued and loved.

Filled with warmth, gentle humour, and a powerful message, this charming picture book encourages children to embrace their individuality and recognise that their worth comes from being themselves.
