A quirky chicken named Elaine journeys through the big city in search of artistic inspiration in this funny picture book about self-discovery—a perfect story to inspire young readers to explore their own creative pursuits!

Meet Elaine: a big city chicken with a lot of love for the world. And what she loves the most is her city: the hustle and bustle, the tasty pizza, and best of all, the art. But when Elaine looks around, she sees all sorts of different artists. Painters. Sculptors. Performers. But what kind of artist is SHE?

Come along with one ingenious chicken as she goes in search of what makes a true artist. Told with vibrant illustrations and witty text, this is a story about the beauty of sharing yourself with the world.

Anden Wilder is an award-winning illustrator and the creator of picture books, including Scamp and Tulip’s Mess. When she isn’t making books, she also makes paintings and is a teacher to artists of all ages. Anden hopes to inspire kids to be their most creative and truest selves through her work.
