Finalist at the 2011 and 2014 International Latino Book Awards. Clucky the Hen has a big heart, but she's a bit clumsy and forgetful... A delightful tale told in rhyme, ideal for learning to accept the faults of those around us and to ignore gossip.
Clucky the Hen had a big heart, but she was clumsy and forgetful too. She always had a thousand things in mind, so imagine when she gave birth to three chicks!
Sometimes, her children ended up finding themselves in complicated situations due to the occasional distractions from their mother. In the farmyard, the other hens gossiped and insinuated Clucky wasn't a good mother to her children, and the rumor started to spread... Suddenly the rumor had already arrived to the city and soon to the most remote part of the world. Everyone said that Clucky did not treat her children well.
Although not everything was going as Clucky would have liked, she did not stop striving for the welfare of her three beloved children. But being a good mother was not an easy task: more than once did Clucky mess up, but she never gave up and, right after apologizing to her three little ones, she hugged them and showed them that she loved them very much.
And the rumors didn't matter because the three chicks were clear that their mother was unique and that they would not change her for anything in the world.

Laid her eggs the wrong way round And out came the chicks Tumbling to the ground One said, “I see stars!” Another had a bump “I’ve fallen from my egg, And now I’ve got a great big lump!” And as he spoke the smallest chick Landed with a thump. Clucky the hen Called each one by their name. “I’m sorry I’m so clumsy, But I love you just the same. And cuddled here beneath my wing, You’ll be safe from everything.” A rumor soon began to spread From one beak to another: Clucky the hen is a terrible mother!
