One morning, Taylor the hen, did something amazing! When the giants hear about her daring feat, they decide to throw the biggest bash ever to introduce her to her new neighborhood. Taylor fears she’ll make a fool of herself at the party, and that no one will like her. To prove to herself that she's worthy, she puts herself through three terrifying trials. Will her nerves get the best of her, or will she be brave enough to boogie into unbelievable friendships? PARENTS, TEACHERS AND HOMESCHOOLERS: This story is a reimagined version of Grimm’s fairy tale, “The Valiant Taylor.” It’s about finding the courage to make new friends when you’re in a new situation and not letting fear of rejection stop you from being yourself.
