Chickens are Kitchens

Chickens Are Kitchens, written by Jess Stiles and illustrated by Sue Wild-Kirn and Hannah Kirn, follows a toddler and her mother through a cozy rural day as they care for backyard chickens, affectionately called “kitchens.” With rhythmic stanzas and toddler mispronunciations, this warm, funny story captures the magic of naming the world in your own way. Each scene is stunningly rendered in watercolor, bringing charm, texture, and life to Sammi’s world. The day winds down with a soothing bedtime scene, making this a comforting read-aloud from morning to night.
