The chickens at the farm are building a wall, and no one is quite sure why.
But they know one thing: the hedgehog that wandered in must be trouble.
So all winter they build and build, until they have a wall that towers over the barn.
When spring comes, though, they find that everything hasn't gone quite according to plan .
A fable for the modern day, The Chickens Build a Wall invites readers to examine the power of prejudice in their own communities.
