Sometimes it takes a village-or a farm-to raise youngins. Lucky for Scarlett the chicken, help

is available when she finds herself in trouble and her chicks still need to be protected and cared

for before they hatch. "Patiently Poppy" is a story about the others who can and often do raise

children and the wonderful job they do when they step in to parent.
