A charming picture book set in an Amish community, by the beloved storyteller Patricia Polacco.

Naomi lives with her farming family in an Amish village in Pennsylvania. As part of her household chores, Naomi looks after the chickens with her little sister, Ruth.

One day Naomi and Ruth find an abandoned egg near the road. Naomi decides this special egg must be hatched. And when it is, it''s plain to see that this is no ordinary chick!

The girls keep the chick, named Fancy, a secret . . . until the day of their family''s community working bee. On this day, Naomi is to receive a white organdy cap, an Amish tradition, as a reward for her hard work and responsibility.

The results are a sheer delight, pure and simple. Accompanied by Patricia Polacco''s beautiful artwork, this story of discovery and growing up will stay in the hearts of all who turn its pages. Less
