E.K. Mockingham’s ‘Pickled Chicken’ Helps Children Discover How Much Their Kindness Matters

For a young child, offering help can be a surprisingly big moment. A small gesture might brighten someone’s afternoon, begin a friendship, or reveal how much one little person has to give. That sense of possibility sits at the heart of E.K. Mockingham’s Pickled Chicken, a picture book that approaches kindness through an amusing adventure involving a chick, his best friend, and a very unusual snack.
