Thank you Andrea Brown.

Did you know that there are wild parrots living in the Bronx? It's the darndest thing, but it's true. Whole flocks of green Quaker Parrots live there on their own. That's not quite enough information to warrant a Jeannette Winter picture book, but it's more than enough for Daniel Pinkwater. Beautiful Yetta: The Yiddish Chicken is written by Mr. Daniel and illustrated by his very own wife. The story concerns a chicken that escapes from her own certain death to rescue a parrot and become an impromptu mother to the birds. The chicken speaks Yiddish, the parrots speak Spanish, and the narration is in English.
