Fannie was rescued from a feed store on a cold spring morning by Abbie, who zipped her inside her coat and drove straight to the vet. A year later, Fannie is living her best life-until she learns something that stops her cold: under the law, chickens aren't considered animals at all. So Fannie does what any self-respecting chicken would do. She organizes. With her flock of tornado survivors, a French bantam rooster named Stuart, and a second-grade class who can't believe Congress doesn't know this already, Fannie marches on Washington to make the case before the entire US Congress that chickens are animals, too.
She brings a scientist. She brings children. She brings a bullhorn and a dance. Funny, spirited, and surprisingly moving, Chickens Are Animals, Too! is the story of one chicken who decided not to wait for someone else to fix things. For readers ages 8-12, animal lovers, and anyone who's ever thought the world could use a little more justice.
