I have an affinity for local authors, and love that we have such a talented community of writers and illustrators sharing their passion with local families. I’ve been reading Goldie Hatches a Brood, a new children’s picture book by local Carnation mom, Jill Iversen, daily to my daughter for the last couple weeks now. Anyone who knows me knows that if I don’t like a book, it discreetly gets moved to the bookshelf and out of our regular nap and bedtime book rotation. Well, Goldie is holding stong on the night stand and I think your family will enjoy reading it, too!
Goldie is a loving, patient chicken, desperately wanting to nurture chicks of her own – so much so, that she will nest with puppies, kittens and even her fellow hen’s eggs! The young daughter recognizes that Goldie needs her own brood, and devises a plan to make Goldie the mother hen she yearns to be.
Goldie Hatches a Brood is written and beautifully illustrated by Jill herself and contains wonderful themes that will appeal to all families, but especially families that have chosen adoption. It is a sweet reminder that the love between families comes from many paths, but all can lead to a happy and fulfilling future.
