Chicken on your Head

Written By Luciënne van der Leije

Consolation is a chicken with white feathers

When Romeo makes friends with the new girl next door (and her amazing chicken, Cluck), he finds the courage to make his dad’s final wish come true. His dad is seriously ill and wants to see the desert one last time. That’s not an easy wish, because his dad is too sick to fly to America. So, the desert will have to come to him. Fortunately, with the help of Tobi and her chicken, almost anything is possible!
