Pippa never meant to swim across the ocean. She was perfectly happy aboard a cruise ship with her mother, watching the waves and wondering what lay beyond them. Then the wind picked her up—and over the railing she went.
Being a chicken in the middle of the Pacific is no small problem. Finding her way to shore, however, will take a little help—and a great deal of paddling.
There are frightening moments, tired tears, and times when Pippa wants nothing more than her mother’s arms. Luckily, there is also a dolphin who knows the way, a puffin who stays beside her, and a woman named Claudia, who finds a bedraggled little chicken on an Oregon beach and takes her home.
You might think that would be enough adventure for one chicken. But Pippa still has a journey ahead of her, this time in a cozy travel box, with someone waiting at the other end who needs a friend.
Pippa and the Long Swim Home is a story about getting lost, being taken in, and learning how to care for someone else. It has salty waves, warm laps, very loud morning clucks—and a little chicken who discovers just how much comfort she can give.
Hardcover · 52 pages · Full color · Landscape format · 11 × 8.5 inches (27.94 × 21.59 cm)
