About this item
Clucky the Hen takes her baby chicks to the farmyard school every morning so they can learn, play, and make new friends. But the baby chicks soon learn how mean others can be when some of the other students tease, bully, and start rumors about a classmate and even about them and Clucky. When the chicks come home and tell Clucky about the mean things their classmates say, she tells them to ignore them and not to take any of their comments to heart. In the end, Clucky uses her magic kettle to collect bad feelings and turn them into good ones so that the farmyard school can become a positive and friendly place. Cluckys third tale addresses bullying and peer pressure and emphasizes the importance of a good attitude and open communication.,
About the Author
Mar Pavón (Manresa, Spain, 1968) is a poet and storyteller, although with her penchant for always walking around with her head in the clouds, she prefers to be described as a "story dreamer." Some of her texts for adults have appeared in various literary publications. However, her literary universe did an about-face in 1996 with the birth of her son, to whom she dedicated her first collection of poems, Yeray poeto. She has published several children's books--some of them outside Spain--as well as poems and stories in newspapers, magazines, anthologies, and textbooks. She writes deftly in both Spanish and Catalan. Her full bibliography and many other interesting facts can be found on her website:www.marpavon.com.Mar Pavón (Manresa, 1968) es poeta y narradora, aunque a ella, por aquello de que siempre anda en las nubes, le gusta más que la califiquen de "soñadora de historias". Algunos de sus textos para adultos han visto la luz en diferentes publicaciones especializadas en literatura. Sin embargo, su universo literario dio un giro de 180 grados en 1996, con el nacimiento de su hijo, a quien dedicó su primer poemario, Yeray poeto. Tiene publicados varios libros infantiles -algunos de ellos, fuera de España-, así como poemas y cuentos en diarios, revistas, antologías, libros de texto... Escribe indistintamente en castellano y catalán. Su bibliografía al completo y otros muchos datos de interés pueden consultarse en su página web:www.marpavon.com
