Omschrijving
The third novel from the celebrated author of the two million-copy number one international bestseller THE HEN WHO DREAMED SHE COULD FLY. For fans of A Man Called Ove and My Grandmother Sends Her Regards and Apologies by Fredrick Backman.
A very special little book. I absolutely loved it, and I find myself still thinking about Sprout. She embodies all the best characteristics of deep-hearted mother-love: loyalty, sacrifice, and courage
Sometimes the simplest character, expressed in the sparest prose, embarks upon life's most heroic journey. Meet Sprout, a plucky hen whose modest dream to hatch a single egg will take her down a path that leads to her true place in the natural world. Heart, determination, and empathy are the only skills Sprout needs to navigate this perilous passage in Sun-mi Hwang's lovely The Hen Who Dreamed She Could Fly, a novel uniquely poised at the nexus of fable, philosophy, children's literature, and nature writing
Everything wonderful about the world is contained in this small gem of a novel, which brims with dream-fulfilling adventures and the longing that underlies love
[A] simply told but absorbing fable . . . Spare but evocative line drawings . . . add to the subtle charm
An adroit allegory about life . . . in the vein of classics like Charlotte's Web and Jonathan Livingston Seagull . . . A subtle morality tale that will appeal to readers of all ages
I was completely sucked into this story bursting with originality . . . an instant classic
Bewitching . . . a fabular bestseller . . . will make grown men and women cry
