Sam and Lucy

Lucy is Sam's best hen. She takes good care of the baby chicks and makes sure all the chickens in the flock have a place to roost. Everyone loves Lucy. Especially Sam. Lucy and Sam do the chores together, go fishing--and Lucy always waits for Sam's bus after school. When Lucy starts to limp, the vet lets Sam know that Lucy is getting old and the best thing to do is give her lots of extra love. Which is just what Sam does. This tender story tells readers of love, loss, and appreciating the friends we have while they're with us.
