description: Ideal for Easter and springtime an exuberantly illustrated picture book by a New York Times bestselling artist!Little Chicks mother is all cluck and no action. Mama knows her old nest isnt the cozy home she and her brood need. But whenever she vows to start building a new house shes distractedby sweety-meaty worms crunchy-munchy crickets or picky-pecky corn. Luckily her Little Chick is an industrious sort. While the rest of his family are stuffing themselves silly hes quietly working bit by bit day by day.Janice N. Harringtons retelling of a little-known Central African story is perfectly matched with Brian Pinkneys jazzy depiction of a can-do little critter.
