Editorial Review: "A very special little book. I absolutely loved it, and I find myself still thinking about Sprout. She embodies all the best characteristics of deep-hearted mother-love: loyalty, sacrifice and courage."s --Lisa See, author of the New York Times bestsellers Snow Flower and the Secret Fan and Shangai Girl "A simply told but absorbing fable...Spare but evocative line drawing...add to the subtle charm." --Publishers Weekly "An adroit allegory about life..in the vein of classics like Charlotte's Web and Jonathan Livinvston Seagull...A subtle morality tale that will appeal to readers of all ages." --Kirkus Reviews Review "A very special little book. I absolutely loved it, and I find myself still thinking about Sprout. She embodies all the best characteristics of deep-hearted mother-love: loyalty, sacrifice and courage."s (Lisa See, author of the New York Times bestsellers Snow Flower and the Secret Fan and Shangai Girl) “Sometimes the simplest character, expressed in the sparest prose, embarks upon life’s most heroic journey. Meet Sprout, a plucky hen whose modest dream to hatch a single egg will take her down a path that leads to her true place in the natural world. Heart, determination, and empathy are the only skills Sprout needs to navigate this perilous passage in Sun-mi Hwang’s lovely The Hen Who Dreamed She Could Fly, a novel uniquely poised at the nexus of fable, philosophy, children’s literature, and nature writing.” (Adam Johnson, author of the Pulitzer Prize winner and New York Times bestseller The Orphan Master’s) “The Hen Who Dreamed She Could Fly breaks down the boundaries between the animal and the human and takes us on the intensely personal journey of a lonely hen whose simple, fierce desires guide her to surprising places. This entertaining and plaintive tale is South Korea’s Charlotte’s Web for youth and adults alike.” (Krys Lee, author of Drifting House) “Everything wonderful about the world is contained in this small gem of a novel, which brims with dream-fulfilling adventures and the longing that underlies love.” (Kyung-sook Shin, New York Times bestselling author of Please Look After Mom)
