Description
Pearl was always different from other chickens. Calamities and mishaps seemed to follow her almost from the time she hatched. Every day she would hear, Why can't you just be a good normal chicken? Blanche was her best and only friend who would tell Pearl, You just have a heaping helping of what makes a chicken a chicken, that's all. As much as Pearl wants to have a wonderful new life where everyone loves and accepts her, none of her plans work. Even when Pearl becomes a comedian and puts on her own amazing Comedy Coop show, nothing changes for her. She is still a not-so-good, not-so-normal chicken. After losing Blanche, Pearl's heaping helping of curiosity leads her to explore her neighborhood to find out what Christmas is all about. She finds The Bottle Cap Lady's house which has more lights and decorations than any other in the neighborhood, but only Pearl can give a gift of light that will reach the sad darkness in The Bottle Cap Lady's heart. But Pearl will have to give up her own Christmas wish and all she treasures most to give The Bottle Cap Lady her Christmas wish. Will she dare? Especially knowing The Bottle Cap Lady has nothing to give her in return?
