Chicken Little Jane on the Big John

In a breezy summer on a bustling ranch, a thirteen‑year‑old girl known as Chicken Little Jane refuses to settle into the genteel expectations of her mother. While her mother frets over proper manners, sewing and kitchen duties, Jane finds freedom in the pasture, a book in her lap, and two sleepy collie pups curled around her. Her father, amused and supportive, watches her drift into stories, recognizing that her restless spirit is as vital to her growth as any lesson in the kitchen.

Jane’s lively imagination turns everyday chores into small adventures—whether she’s helping with breakfast, joining a hunting party, or planning a picnic with friends from the nearby town. The narrative captures the charm of rural life, the tug between tradition and independence, and the warmth of a family learning to appreciate a daughter who prefers climbing trees to polishing silver. Listeners will be drawn into her world of sunshine, curiosity, and the gentle humor that follows a spirited girl on the cusp of womanhood.
