Publisher Description
From the beloved author of Everyone Poops, a charming tale of three little chicks who are ready to explore the big, wide world together! Running in sunshine and in the rain, over grassy fields and past friendly neighbors, these chicks are as eager for adventure as they are to run back home into the arms of their caring parents at the end of a long day. Internationally beloved author-illustrator Taro Gomi takes the youngest of readers on a journey of adventure, discovery, and excitement, with a reassuring reminder that no matter how far they may roam, there is always love and support waiting for them at home.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
With his signature simple text and rich graphic style, Gomi presents a brief tale of three little chicks who head out for a day of adventure in this cheerful board book. The wide-eyed, yellow siblings "run energetically" across green fields and then in the rain, all under the watchful gaze of an orange bird who follows them, feathered neighbors, and an anthropomorphic sun and storm cloud. After running and resting and running again, the chicks hide from a predator overhead ("They run and then stay very still"), and even hop a ride on a brightly checkered bus before finally speeding "all the way home" to their parents' waiting wings. Saturated blocks of color pop against crisp white space, creating a bucolic storyscape for the momentum-driven proceedings, which may encourage readers to imagine additional outings for the chipper chicks. Ages up to 3.
