Chicken Little Jane on the Big John

On a sun‑swept ranch, the Morton household hums with the clatter of a kitchen and the murmurs of a restless summer. Mrs. Morton, fresh from silk and lace, finds herself scolding her thirteen‑year‑old daughter—affectionately called Chicken Little—for disappearing into the pasture with two sleepy collies and a half‑finished novel. While her husband chuckles at the girl’s stubborn independence, the teenage girl drifts between chores, music, and the lure of open‑air freedom, much to her mother’s chagrin.

In the first act, listeners are whisked into Jane’s world of farmyard mischief, quiet moments with her loyal pups, and the subtle tug of expectation versus adventure. From playful arguments over doughnuts to whispered plans with friends Huz and Baby Jill, the story balances gentle humor with the earnest growing‑up of a headstrong girl. As the summer unfolds, each episode promises warm dialogue and the kind of simple, rural charm that invites you to linger awhile on the porch of the Morton homestead.
