The three gentle stories follow a young chick and her wise Old Auntie as they navigate the trials of waiting for a carrot to grow, trying to fly a kite, and reaching for the stars. It is an ideal choice for preschoolers and early elementary children who are learning that patience is a process and that having a supportive mentor makes every disappointment easier to bear.
