      This is a simple story about a half chick that goes on a soul searching mission. He is asked for help by the 4 different elements. He is only able to stop and help wind. When the governor's cook grabs and puts him in a boiling pot, only wind is willing to come to his rescue. Wind blows the half chicken out and he lands on top of a building at his home farm. This way he always know what wind is up too. This book's theme is to show that helping people when you can is important. This is a folktale I was not familiar with, so it was interesting to read it. I was hoping for a more vibrant story than what I read. I found the story simple and mundane in comparison to other folktales. However, with this said, it is a good introduction to the world of fairytales. The tone of the story was simple, which is good for young readers.The illustrations were kind of dark. They had thick heavy black outlines in most of the objects in the pictures. I found this to be contradictory to the vibrant Mexican culture that I am familiar with. The illustrations did have some bright colors, but I found the heavy outlines to be too distracting.
