Mottajunior, 2009, 54 p.
Illustrated
Age of recommended reading: 5 - 8 years
Through four chapters, three stories and an epilogue, Luisa a chicken farm, leads us to the adventure. What pushes it far and wide for the world is absolutely legitimate and acceptable to the principle of freedom " The hens should not be locked in a cage (...) but should be free to roam " says Luisa.
one day so our feathered heroine leaves the hen house to explore the world in search of freedom, but there are some unexpected events and misadventures: will be kidnapped pirates of the sea, will find himself face to face with a lion, will be working with the circus and might even be sold to an unscrupulous merchant. But Luis is fearless and courageous, and each time, after many adventures around the world, always able to return in the chicken coop from his sisters curious to hear his tales of comedy and adventure travel. Like them, the readers will enjoy the pleasure of a simple and fun story following the text and illustrations by Harry Blis rich in detail and particular, but also, if they want, they can dwell on the meaning and the sense that those trips are for Luisa, the message you try to "pass" to the other chickens: free is a valuable asset that must be safeguarded, sometimes conquered, which often also implies duties, but that certainly is a fundamental right of every living being.
