Cluck!

Cluck! Evelien De Vlieger is a quirky picture book that brings barnyard life to the page with a wink of subtle humour and heaps of heart. Inspired by De Vlieger’s real-life love of chickens and paired with Jan Hamstra’s bold, printmaker-style illustrations, it’s a story that feels fresh, funny, and wonderfully observant.

Set in the familiar rhythms of the backyard coop, this contemporary children’s book follows the chatter, curiosity, and everyday drama of chicken-keeping—inviting young readers to look closely at small moments and find the comedy (and comfort) in them. The tone is playful without being over-the-top, making it ideal for shared reading.

Perfect for fans of picture books, animal stories, and gentle humour, as well as families who keep chickens or dream of a backyard flock.

Add Cluck! to your shelves and enjoy a lively read-aloud with real personality.
