Home is Where the Hens Are - Melody Lewis;Aimee Poole

Home Is Where the Hens Are: A Story of Family, Friendship, and Finding Home is a warm and gently humorous early chapter book about curiosity, courage, and the comfort of belonging.

When Priscilla, Piper, and Mabel grow bored with their everyday routine, curiosity leads them into unexpected adventures-and into friendships with a charming rooster named Percival and two kindhearted mice, Darby and Ollie. But when Mabel's long-awaited chicks finally hatch, celebration quickly turns into a surprising journey as the entire farm family is carried far from home-hidden away inside a suitcase.

Along the way, the hens and their companions meet new friends, explore unfamiliar places, and discover that differences-how we speak, where we come from, and how we see the world-are not obstacles to friendship, but reasons to celebrate it. Through moments of excitement, reflection, and quiet homesickness, Mabel learns that adventure and security can exist side by side.

When the animals finally return home, safe and unchanged at heart, the story gently reassures young readers that while the world is big and full of wonder, home is where love, family, and kindness live.

Home Is Where the Hens Are is the first book in the Chicken Yarns series, with more adventures already waiting to be shared.
