Beyond the Backyard Gate

The animal characters in the Chicken Yarns series are handmade by the author, then photographed in the real world to help tell the stories the animals seem determined to tell.

Join your favorite backyard friends for another cozy adventure in Chicken Yarns: Beyond the Backyard Gate-a heartwarming children's story about friendship, teamwork, and courage.

When two tiny new friends-Tiddlywinks and Valiant-arrive, their small size doesn't stop them from becoming big parts of the group. With a little bravery, a lot of teamwork, and plenty of determination, the animals set out on an exciting journey beyond the backyard gate in this charming animal adventure story for kids.

But adventures don't always turn out quite the way you expect...

With a little help from E-Ma, the friends find their way safely home-hearts full and friendships stronger than ever. And just when things settle down, a special trip to the farm brings even more fun, laughter, and a very unforgettable alpaca named J!

This gentle and engaging bedtime story for children is filled with lovable characters, cozy storytelling, and meaningful lessons about kindness, courage, and working together. Perfect for read-aloud family time, classrooms, and young readers who love sweet and whimsical animal stories.
