A True Tale of a Chicken-Duck Named Chuck

by Jennifer Meiring, Carmen Hampson (Illustrator)

A True Tale of a Chicken-Duck Named Chuck is a children’s story written by Jennifer Meiring and illustrated by Carmen Hampson. It is a story of unconditional love, and unconventional family. As the title indicates, it is based on a true story of a hen (who lived on a farm in rural Michigan) who found and hatched a duck egg, and raised the duckling as her own. This rhyming story will entertain young children, and touch the hearts of parents.

About the author

Jennifer graduated from Purdue University with a degree in Communications. After many years of working in marketing, she became a stay-at-home mom to her two boys. She is currently working as a dog walker and pet-sitter while the boys are in school. A True Tale of a Chicken-Duck Named Chuck is her first book, but she's got others in the works. She and her husband and their two kids (and many animals -- including two golden retrievers, four chickens, a turtle and a frog) live in the far western suburbs of Chicago.

A beautifully illustrated, heartwarming children’s story! Perfect for all the young (and old!) animal lovers in your life and anyone who has ever felt like they just didn’t quite fit in.

This is a wonderful children's book - one that is good for all ages. It teaches wonderful lessons about family and belonging and connections. The illustrations are similarly beautiful and will connect with young readers.

A beautifully illustrated charming rhyming story based in true life that is surprisingly not just for 3-5 yr olds. The lovely story and soothing colors are comforting for any age.
The illustrations are from a variety of viewpoints giving more action to the page than you might otherwise expect.
I have gifted the book to a number of my adult friend as well as children.
It will be a Classic.
