The Rooster That Would Not Crow

by Cheryl Rao

All copies are out · join the waitlist★★★★★

Our rooster came when he was small With bristly crest and comb and all… We watched him strut, we watched him grow, And waited – waited – for him to crow. But this young rooster simply refuses to. Until one momentous day in his life – when he lays an egg, and the kuk-roo-kooos burst out of him! Lilting verse rides us jauntily along, bringing us to a sudden head on with this most unusual situation. Or is it so strange, after all? And does it matter? A cleverly spun allegorical tale with joyous pictures that is about facing, and embracing, possible gender realities.
