Chicken Joy on Redbean Road: A Bayou Country Romp Book Description

With art as fun as waltzing on the moon and with words as lively as a fiddle, this rhythmic story set in the bayous of Louisiana captures the power of music to heal and of friendship to endure. Full color.
When people danced to Joe Beebee's music they forgot about bad knees, tight shoes, backaches, blisters, and beetles . . . They forgot sickness, sadness, and sin. Joe Beebee's music, folks say, will take you up so high, your problems look small enough to stomp on. But, worries a plain brown hen, can it make a quiet rooster sing? Can it save her best friend from becoming Quiet Rooster Stew? Will Joe Beebee even play for chickens?
With art as fun as waltzing on the moon and with words as lively as a fiddle, this book captures the power of music to heal and of friendship to endure.
