Do you remember the age-old story of The Little Red Hen? She works hard on her task, but no one will help her when she asks. When it came time to enjoy the fruit of her labor, everyone wanted to take part in the rewards, but she drew a hard boundary line. While this fable is good at teaching us the importance of hard work, we know that working smart is just as important as working hard. In this modernized fable, the innovative Little Brown Hen meets old Red and shows her a better way. She shows her how to activate the gifts of all the animals, motivating them to do what they do best for the benefit of all. Kids and adults alike will see that when we figure out how to work together and put our trust in others, we can accomplish exponentially more than we can on our own. In a deceptively simple way, it gives people of all ages effective leadership strategies for greater connection and prosperity. "This children’s book has all the makings of a new classic. It beautifully teaches the importance of working together while celebrating the unique talents each individual brings. Through engaging storytelling and heartfelt moments, children learn that everyone has value and that cooperation leads to greater success. A wonderful story that encourages kindness, teamwork, and meaningful conversations—one children will want to read again and again." - D'Ette Owen
