Author(s): Martha Brockenbrough
A fabulously sunny picture book for the optimist in all of us (or the optimist we wish we could be!)Right from the moment Chick is born, she wants to lead the other animals in cheer! Unfortunately, the rest of the barnyard just isn't quiiiite as enthusiastic. Lucky for little Chick she has a whole squad of siblings who are backing her up (even when she doesn't realize it)!
