Radiant Hen Publishing - Radiant Hen Publishing’s mission is to promote good citizenship and kindness to all living things, an awareness of agriculture and ecological issues, and an awareness of Vermont people and places. We do this through entertaining, thought-provoking stories and beautiful artwork. After all, storytelling and art are the oldest and truest forms of human communication ever known except for music. Most of Radiant Hen’s books are for children, but they have appeal for the adults who read them as well. Parents and other adults can weave magical tales while passing on basic concepts of “organic”, the importance of diversity in food choices and in all of life, and how being close to and protecting the land and all living things on it can make life worth living. |
