About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is navigating the social complexities of elementary school and needs a reminder that small, quiet acts of kindness are just as heroic as grand gestures. It is a perfect choice for kids who feel a bit like outsiders or who are searching for ways to make a positive impact on their community. The story follows a girl who discovers a purple chicken from outer space with teleportation powers and a mission to help humankind. Together, they embark on a series of rescue missions that balance high-energy science fiction with deep emotional resonance. Through the chicken's glowing bracelet and secret deeds, the book explores themes of empathy, loyalty, and the ripple effect of good actions. It is an engaging, heart-centered read for ages 8 to 12 that turns the classic 'secret alien friend' trope into a masterclass in character building and compassion.

The book is entirely secular and focuses on positive social behavior. There are no heavy themes like death or divorce; the 'peril' is primarily focused on the stress of keeping a secret and the physical slapstick of a crash landing. It is a safe, hopeful, and lighthearted read.
