"Lauren Scheuer is a writer of immense warmth who beautifully
captures the quirks, comedy, and drama of backyard chickens. You
will love Lucy, Hatsy, and the other amusing characters of her
flock. You will love Marky the dog and Danny the husband. But most
of all you will love Lauren and her gentle and generous soul. This
remarkable interspecies family will make you laugh, will touch your
heart, and -- yes, believe it -- just might make you cry. Once
Upon a Flock is a celebration of all that is sweet and simple
and pure in life."--John Grogan, author of Marley & Me and The
Longest Trip Home
"Part memoir, part photo album, part comic book, Once Upon a
Flock is wholly delightful--as are all the distinctive,
compelling individual chickens you'll come to know and love in
these pages. I loved it!"--Sy Montgomery, author of Birdology and
The Good Good Pig
"Once Upon a Flock has a clear message: Chickens are people,
too. They form bonds, have spats, make new friends and even fall in
love. Prepare to be charmed and even moved by the story of these
birds, so much so, you might find yourself the proud owner of a
couple of chicks."--Tamara Staples, author of The Fairest Fowl and
The Magnificent Chicken
