About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels small or powerless in the face of adult sized problems, like family financial stress or a move. Set on a misty Scottish island, it tells the story of Hanne, a small hen who embarks on a mystical quest to save her elderly owner's farm from debt. It beautifully explores themes of sacrificial love and the idea that even the most unassuming creature can possess the heart of a hero. Parents will appreciate the folk tale atmosphere that provides a safe, metaphorical space to process real world anxieties about losing one's home. It is a gentle, sophisticated read for children ages 8 to 12 that balances high stakes with deep emotional warmth.
