man I loved this!! So sweet and funny.

Also I loved how it covertly shows microaggressions and the importance of representation--Sophie is half white, half Latina and she notes how the librarian is super nice to her because she originally assumed that Sophie was the daughter of a farm laborer, rather than the daughter of the family who inherited the farm; Sophie is super excited when she meets a Filipina journalist who speaks Spanish...it's all organic to the story but it's something that could be a lightbulb moment for some readers.

Also you might learn a surprising amount about actual chickens from this book?
