I bought this second hand, no idea why, never heard of it and had no expectations. I am in tears after finishing it. This book was better than any fable has a right to be. It was beautifully emotional all the way through.

A beautiful fable about a beautiful mother hen. Sprout's character shines through each decision she makes throughout her tale creating a sweet and heart-warming reaction from the reader. I loved the humble and soothing context of the story, which still contained powerful discourse on motherhood. With sweet illustrations and characterisation, this was the perfect read for a weekend in nature.
"That's all there is to it. We look different, so we don't understand each other's inner thoughts, but we cherish each other in our own way. I respect you."

Knopp är en höna som vill mer av livet än att bara lägga ägg som tas till marknaden. Hon vill riva på ett ägg och kläcka en kyckling. En dag rymmer hon från gården och hittar ett övergivet ägg i vassen som hon ruvar det tills en andunge kläcks. Knopp döper ungen till Gröntopp, ger honom allt han behöver och skyddar honom från att bli uppäten av vesslan som lurar i närheten. Gröntopp växer och vill leva sitt liv, han söker sig från tryggheten med Knopp till att försöka leva med andra änder. Men kommer de att acceptera honom?
En känslosam bok med många tänkvärda händelser som det går att ta till sig och jämföra med människors liv. Att en familj kan se på så många olika sätt och ändå vara en familj. Den handlar om en drömmar och en mors villkorslösa kärlek för sitt barn oavsett vem det är. Och slutet sen som chokade mig och fick mig att fälla en tår. En riktigt fin liten bok som jag verkligen önskar att flera läser.
