Book Details
Our rooster came when he was small
With bristly crest and comb and all…
We watched him strut, we watched him grow,
And waited – waited – for him to crow.
But this young rooster simply refuses to. Until one momentous day in his life – when he lays an egg, and the kuk-roo-kooos burst out of him! Lilting verse rides us jauntily along, bringing us to a sudden head on with this most unusual situation. Or is it so strange, after all? And does it matter?
A cleverly spun allegorical tale with joyous pictures that is about facing, and embracing, possible gender realities.

- Book Type:
- Description: Duster the dog is more of a cat. He loves the naps, the flaps, and the fish. And he doesn't like to announce arrivals, to play fetch, and to dig for bones. Especially, certainly, not the bones. His human craves dog love. Will the two ever be right for each other?

Neeti Banerji's endearing frames are chocked full of details with Easter eggs and parallel threads to add to the re-readability of the story.
