Chikira Queen of the Chickens and other feisty femme tales by Tanya Batt & Peter Forster

From singing chickens, to adventure seeking princesses this collection of stories celebrates the admirable qualities of heroines – determination, bravery, strength, kindness, ingenuity and the ability to ride a unicycle. This collection draws from Spanish, Mexican, Afro American and Syrian traditions as well a contemporary Kiwi retelling of a French classic. This album is being released to celebrate the 125th anniversary of women being granted the right to vote in parliamentary elections in Aotearoa, New Zealand.
