Pecker was a happy healthy hen living on a farm with other chooks when she noticed the others didn't share their food, just jumped in, and ate as much as they could without thinking that some of the smaller and younger chooks might not be getting enough of the food.
When a young hen became weak and sick one night, because she wasn't getting any food and missing her mealtime snacks, Pecker decided to teach the other chooks the meaning of sharing.
What do you think happened when she tried to get all of the other chooks to share the food the farmer gave them?
Did they just keep on eating as much as they could for themselves, or did they change their ways and start to share?
About the author
With four children under five, living on a small farm near Melbourne, the author respected the need for their careful education and sensible discipline and told them stories, based on farm and wild animals, that would impart to them life lessons for their paths ahead!
With the passage of time, some twenty-five plus years, these stories have now been put down in writing and published for children everywhere who will face similar challenges and choices in their own lives that the author's children successfully met in theirs.
