This story is delightful! The illustrations and words are well-crafted and beautiful.
A painter loves to paint chickens. No one, however, wants paintings of chickens. Since he needs to survive, he paints what the consumers want-people, poodles, and penguins. As he paints chickens in his free time, he dreams of having enough money to buy a farm and to raise actual chickens. Then a woman walks into his studio. . . .
The illustrations beckon the reader to linger. Around his desk and throughout his house, the painter has mini chickens and chicken-related decor. Also, on every text page is a illustrations of a specific chicken with its breed identified.
**Highly, highly recommend, especially for those who love chickens. (I would consider buying it, but it is $70 on Amazon!)
