This charming, character-driven picture book follows Chico, a tiny, deeply anxious little chick who lives in the shadow of his legendary grandfather, Golden Rooster—the bravest bird on the farm, famous for his loud, magnificent morning crow that conquers the dark. Chico desperately wants to inherit his grandfather’s fierce bravery and booming voice, but he is plagued by a quiet, trembling nature and a tiny, squeaky chirp. When Golden Rooster unexpectedly catches a terrible cold and loses his voice, the farm risks facing a prolonged darkness. Gathering his hidden inner resolve, Chico steps onto the highest fence post to face his profound stage fright and confront the morning shadows, discovering that real bravery isn't the total absence of fear, but rather taking action even when your feathers are shaking.
