The Chicken and The Squirrel

: A New Friendship

by Amanda Perko Balsavage

Being alone is not very fun.

When it came to friends, Chris, The Squirrel, had none.

He lived in a tree, and each day was the same.

That was until Miss Emma came…

Is friendship something Chris will finally embrace,

When The Chicken and The Squirrel come face to face?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Chicken and the Squirrel, two unlikely friends,

Find that adventure in life never ends.

But it takes some courage and a lot of heart,

Before a new journey can truly start.

Follow the adventures of Chris and Miss Emma,

As, together, they can overcome any dilemma!
