Winner at the 2012 Moonbeam Children's Book AwardsIt’s true that most little chicks have mothers who are hens, puppies have fathers who are dogs, elephants have elephant families, and ants have little baby ants, but then there are families whoare different. Like mine! It’s great being different! I’m a chick, and my mommy is a cat. And I think it’s amazing! My mommy’s got lovely soft fur, whiskers that tickle me, and a long, beautiful tail. What more could I ask for? Would you like to hear my story?

The bright, colored-pencil illustrations of pudgy chicks and cats add exuberance to the simply and wryly told tale.”–Kirkus ReviewsGuided Reading Level: M, Lexile Level: 850L
