I started reading Jan’s books to my children even before they could listen to the words. We gazed for hours at her illustrations. My children learned animal names from her books. Sometimes, my son would even make me flip back to the previous page to look and linger some more. Her attention to detail is amazing and she is truly an incredibly talented illustrator and writer. I have spent time with Jan at various poultry shows and have enjoyed visiting her flock.
A couple of weeks ago, I was contacted to help out at the final stop on Jan Brett’s tour for her newest book, Cinders-A Chicken Cinderella Story. I love this book. In fact, she had me at the white Silkie Hen starring as the Fairy Godmother-just perfect! I was excited to be representing backyard chicken along with a few other well known chicken bloggers. I made the two plus hour trek up to Milford, NH.
I handed out informational sheets on getting started with chickens, kept the kids busy with a bookmark craft while they waited in line, and chatted about backyard chickens with some chicken owners and those who were pondering a flock for the spring. I had a fabulous time! Jan gave a a lovely presentation in the auditorium and then she signed books for over two hours!
Of course, I did not forget about all of you and wanted to do a special giveaway of Jan Brett goodies!
This giveaway will include a signed copy of Cinders-A Chicken Cinderella Story, a book tour button, a brochure all about the book, and a signed name plate.

How fun is this give-away! We love Jan Brett! jayne_rouisse@yahoo.com
I bought The Wild Christmas Reindeer for my nephew, and his mother was delighted with how beautifully illustrated it was. I would love to have another Jan Brett book, especially one starring a chicken!

Love your site…..bev.pirt@gmail.com…..wish I could keep bees as well, but not sure about it in the burbs on 1/5 acre. Have three hens and having to tweak my system to satisfy code requirements….
Isn't Jan Brett the BEST! Loved reading these books to my kids, and always so fun to see what she puts in the margins 🙂 chellirn@cox.net

Hi Tilly! ~(:>3 )= My eight year old son also shares in my love of all things chicken and would adore this book I am sure! Everytime we visit the library he always takes out any title including chickens, Louise, The Adventures of a Chicken [Kate DiCamillo, Harry Bliss] has come home so many times the librarian likely giggles as he approaches the counter with the book. 😀 charkbuvel@verizon.net
My kids have always said, "Oh my dears to chicken ears!" and that's just how I feel!
Love Jan Brett, love chickens…what else can I say? Crossing my fingers…and thanks, too for thinking of us and sharing a copy! -Mary
