The Farm Chicken’s New Shoes

A charming farmyard tale by Mariah Nienhuis

What if a chicken could wear shoes?
That simple, silly question sparked a whole world of imagination when I was a little girl. I loved chickens, I loved the farm, and I couldn’t help but wonder: what kind of shoes would actually fit a chicken’s feet?

Years later, I finally have my own flock of hens — and that childhood daydream has come to life in this book.

Meet Edna the Hen

Edna is no ordinary chicken. She’s quirky, curious, and determined to find the perfect pair of shoes. From silly attempts that make her wobble to laugh-out-loud moments that will have your little ones giggling, Edna’s search is a heartwarming mix of farmyard fun and imaginative play.

Through Edna’s adventures, children not only enjoy a whimsical story — they also get a playful peek into real life on the farm.

From My Heart to Yours

This story is more than just a book. It’s a piece of my childhood, written down so that other families can laugh, learn, and dream right alongside Edna. I hope when you read it, you feel the joy and warmth that inspired me to finally put pen to paper.
