Henny by Elizabeth Rose Stanton
4.0

Age: Preschool-Kindergarten
Animals: Chicken

This book starts out with an anatomical rendering of two chickens: a typical chicken and Henny. There is one difference: the typical chicken has wings and Henny has arms. Stanton goes on to show how much Henny loves her uniqueness, and how others teasing make her dislike it. Eventually, Henny comes to realize all the things she can do with her arms such as helping the farmer out, pointing, making a point,and maybe, just maybe, she could fly.

This book will certainly provide younger children with a way of looking at differences and unique traits each other has.
