Winner of a prestigious Northern Lights Book Award, Gwen the Rescue Hen is the heart-warming story about a sharp-witted chicken that inspires compassion for animals.Gwen has spent her whole life in a big egg-laying hen house, so she knows very little about what chickens can do (besides lay eggs, of course). It's a really good story.Book Description Paperback. She focuses instead on how truly wonderful these overlooked and poorly treated animals are-that they're way more than just bacon and nuggets."-Reynard Loki, Ecowatch, "Bear and I just read this book and we liked it so much. If you are a parent of younger children I recommend you pick this up and start to share these stories with your children."-Scott Mann, The Permaculture Podcast, "Both Sprig and Gwen are awesome and radical and filled with hope, and couldn't have come into my life (and the world) at a better time."-Kelly Garbato, Goodreads, "I simply adored this book!

The illustrations, produced by Sonja Stangl, are delightful.
She uses language that is nonjudgmental, beautiful, and expressive. Bravo! I can't wait to see them in every kid's hands."-Kathy Freston, Best-Selling Author, "With Sprig, Leslie Crawford shows us how it's possible to expand our relationship with, and our connection to, the natural and non-human world.
