Read and Laugh Out Loud

Hector Louise Juan Jose Fernando Torrinado is a name of the rooster below. This rooster- person wishes a happy day to the birthday bird in the book, Chickens in Birthday Suits. I knew a nice person in high school with a similar name. Of all days not to have a good one, Tawani Alice the birthday bird, has a very disappointing but also a very funny birthday party in the park, until the very end. This book has a happy ending of course. Read and laugh out loud because Chickens in Birthday Suits is free for a short time as an eBook at Amazon. As a reminder, if you order this book as a paperback, you’ll receive the eBook without charge, a nice Amazon offer. nancymauerman.com

The Natural History of the Chicken and Their Birthdays

The Natural History of the Chicken is a WONDERFUL film, can be found through a  computer search and most libraries. Usually when I think ‘documentary’, I think facts. The History of the Chicken goes way beyond this; is an emotional exploration of the subject through stories. The first time I watched it I thought ,”Oh, I’ll give it three minutes them turn it off and read a book”, but most of the stories have burned into my being, I’m changed. I can away from my T.V. chair, unglued is a better word, thinking, “What a glorious world we life in; what wonderful people there are, what particularly special bird individuals I’ve met.

With this insight, I wrote and illustrated CHICKENS IN BIRTHDAY SUITS, about a little girl I know who celebrates birthdays the traditional way; balloons, gifts, cake, for each of her CHICKENS. It’s a tender but humorous story told by the birthday hen herself and is offered free as an eBook for a few days through Amazon. I recommend both my book and the documentary. Let me know what you think. nancymauerman.com

I Love Chickens In Their Birthday Suits

I loved living with chickens! It’s been several years since they’ve flitted over my fence, but when a young friend of mine told me about the BIRTHDAY PARTIES she threw for each of her hens on their special day, I just had to go and meet her birds. Jillian hugged Tawni Alice as she walked me around her backyard introducing me to each bird and explaining each of their personalities and their favorite foods. And she told me about the most bazaar parties in the park; they had it all except frilly party dresses.

I wrote and Illustrated ‘Chicken’s In Birthday Suits‘ for all those who have chickens, children, or funny bones. The book is fictionalized just a little but the characters are REAL.

I’m offering Chickens In Birthday Suits  free as an eBook through Amazon tomorrow, and for a few days. I hope you take a look and give me your comments. nancymauerman.com
