Review
'I never thought I'd be selecting a children's book on sustainable development but this is great.' --Bookseller
'It is heartening to see a text that neither romanticises rural Africa nor depicts its people as victims dependent on Western intervention. The colourful illustrations are joyous. Highly recommended.' --Bookseller

Great resource and education for global poverty and micro-finance
12 April 2008
Format:Hardcover
This little children's book shows how big the world is. One Hen simplistically shares a personal story of a little boy who buys a hen and how it impacted his life, family, entire village, and country. Beyond just micro-finance, One Hen communicates global poverty, community development, family values, charity and justice issues. helpful to begin educating American children in a "me, me" culture about not just giving to those who are poor and disenfranchised but how to give in such a way that has sustainable, holistic effects on an individual and community.

great introduction to giving for kids
20 April 2008
Format:Hardcover
This book is a great way for families to teach their children about the value of giving and the effect a small kindness or gift may have on many lives. The illustrations are an added plus. It is a good and easy introduction into microfinance and how one person can help make the world a better place

A Great Read for All Ages
14 April 2008
Format:Hardcover
This book is terrific. We can so easily fall into thinking that our world is limited to the things we see everyday, and the book is a great journey through what life is like in so many parts of the world today.
I recommend reading this with your kids, your students (if you have any), and even just for your own personal enjoyment.
Also, the book has sparked a great website as well, which helps to educate young and old on the merits of microloans -- http://www.onehen.org.
