This book is wonderful. I am a teacher and “live” at my local public library. I asked the children’s librarian for a good new read aloud. She ran straight to The Chicken Chasing Queen of Lamar County. What a great find. It was instantly added to my favorite books. My first grade class is learning about similes, so you can imagine that I was extra excited when I read the book. I have created lesson to go along with the book. I love it!!!! I would love to know if Janice N Harrington has a website of her own. Thanks for an awesome book. Jenny Curtis Wow, how do I begin! This book is wonderful.

The language and the story - both priceless. It is so much fun to read out loud in the library! What a joyful noise! I SO look forward to more books from Ms. Harrington.

My daughter is 13 and to this day, whenever she sees photos of herself in multiple pig tails like that she feels the need to announce how much she dislikes the hair style. It makes me laugh because the hairstyle, is so much more than just a hair style. Just like your story, that cover with those pig tails going every which way represents a cultural vibe - something that would be lost if books like yours weren't published. Thank you for sharing with us. I love the cover.
