Daisy Comes Home Paperback - 2005
by Jan Brett; Jan Brett (Illustrator)
On a trip to China with her family, the "New York Times" bestselling author/illustrator found inspiration for this story of a plucky little hen who gets washed away in a rain storm and must be brave enough to find her way home. Full color.
Summary
Mei Mei has the six happiest hens in China. She gives them treats and fresh hay baths, and when she calls to them-gu gu gu gu gu!-they all run to her as fast as they can. But one of the hens, Daisy, is not always so happy. The other hens pick on Daisy and push her off the perch every night, knowing that she is too small to stand up to them. Then one day Daisy accidentally drifts out onto the river in a basket and must quickly learn how to survive. When Daisy finds her way home, this plucky little hen is no longer afraid.
Jan Brett and her husband, Joe, traveled with their daughter-in-law, Yun, and her husband, Sean, to China, the land where Yun was born. During this trip, Jan found the inspiration for Daisy's story.
