The Little Rooster

About the Book

The Little Rooster turns an analytic eye on everything that happens around him. He seeks advice from elders and asks for explanation. As an answer, he finds, ambition, pride, and stubbornness. The Little Rooster disagrees with obsolete and absurd behaviors that lead to clashes and death. He decides to change that way of living. He travels around the world carrying his message: mutual respect, stopping the mistreatment of female chickens, not abusing baby chickens, loving and protecting the environment. During his trip, he escapes many times from emboldened groups that want to kill him for altering their world. Finally, he has no alternative; he has to face them and decides to fight. The result of the battle brings changes that will affect life.
