The Talented Chicken.

The Talented Chicken. By Parisa Mahmoudi. Parisa Mahmoudi, 2009. Unpaged, numerous illustrations. Images from and more images here.

"The story is about an insistent mother hen, who is determined to push her chick to sing, to fly, to swim - while ignoring the fact that it is only a chicken."

I would love to see more of this sweet book! It's truly beautifully illustrated and the story is clearly communicated and understood even for those of us who doesn't speak Persian. A reminder of how similar we all are across the culture barriers...
