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.

Great book about: grief, loss, loneliness, hope and not being afraid to live your life whatever that means for you and not caring about norms. It's about finding peace and strength in yourself.
The beginning and ending of life and how both are necessary. It's about a mother, who's "child" is more or less the only life purpose and the lonliness of that. Also the loneliness of being left out and pushed away, because you don't "fit in". But also about pushing past that and finding your own way and showing courage.

This short fable explores themes of freedom vs captivity, reproductive rights, and motherhood through the eyes of a lovable, plucky chicken named Sprout. It is a quick read that I finished in one sitting and left me feeling satisfied and a little wistful.

Sprout cannot lay eggs of her own so she adopts a duckling.
