Chicken and Mermaid: A Heartwarming Tale of Unlikely Friendship A beautifully illustrated picture book about kindness, empathy, and embracing our differences.
When a curious chicken wanders too close to the sea and becomes tangled in seaweed, he fears it might be the end-until a kind mermaid rescues him. From that day on, Chicken and Mermaid meet every Friday, sharing meals, laughter, and stories. Despite their differences, their friendship grows stronger with each passing week. But when a mocking seagull swoops in with harsh words-questioning how two creatures from such different worlds could ever belong together-Chicken begins to doubt their bond. Hurt and uncertain, he stops showing up. Can Mermaid prove that true friendship is worth fighting for?
Perfect for children ages 4-8, Chicken and Mermaid is a touching story about celebrating what makes us unique and treasuring the friends who make life brighter. Kids will laugh at Chicken and Mermaid's playful jokes, delight in Amanda Letcher's bold and colorful illustrations, and carry away an important message: friendship has no boundaries.
