The crazy career of a crazy chicken<br />

A chicken’s life - the touching story<br />

of a true artist who refuses to be<br />

sold out.<br />

The farmer has a very special chicken:<br />

When it swallowed its shadow, it laid<br />

black eggs.<br />

When the farm was covered by fog, he<br />

found little gray clouds in the nest. Every<br />

day the chicken lays something weird:<br />

footballs, apples, even light bulbs!<br />

No wonder it gets to the farmer’s head.<br />

He takes the chicken to a TV station.<br />

Nothing but disappointment awaits him:<br />

the chicken doesn’t lay anything but a<br />

large white egg!<br />

It’s been many years since Walter<br />

Schmögner last illustrated a picture<br />

book, but Heinz Janisch has created a<br />

magical picture book heroine that he<br />

couldn’t resist.<br />

Heinz Janisch is one of Austria’s most<br />

sought after author of children’s books.<br />

To date he has published more than thirty<br />

books for children and adults.<br />

His books are characterized by<br />

enchanting straightforwardness and<br />

astonishing esprit, by imaginativeness,<br />

sensitivity and subtleness.<br />
