A picture book story for reading aloud from age 4 about belonging, self-confidence, and parental love. It is evening. Mama Hen has already brought her little one to the nest. As every evening, he crows: "Mama, tell me about me." And Mama Hen tells: how on a stormy night a strange egg fell from the sky, and no one knew what it was. Some of his aunt hens were even afraid of it. But Mama Hen wanted to hatch it. Just like that. Soon after, her child hatched from the shell. A little rooster with horns – her boy! Mama Hen proudly tells how he learned to walk. But why only on all fours? She recounts how her little one stood up to the nasty tomcat. Funny, he had a singed whisker afterward... "But now, good night, my dear mysterious child. Whatever you are," whispers Mama Hen. And until the end of this literary bedtime story, there remains a quiet wonder – about the surprises of life, being different, and love. A special picture book not just for the evening ritual. We experience firsthand how telling family stories strengthens bonds, builds trust, and allows us to experience our own identity positively. About belonging, trust, and the strength of being different. An original bedtime story. Strong themes: self-confidence and diversity. With an extraordinary literary narrative voice.
