Huevos Rancheros

_{written and illustrated by Stefan Czernecki}

Marcelina lived in a small cage on the balcony of Senor Raul's cantina in Mexico City. Every day she would lay eggs and Senor Raul would turn them into delicious huevos rancheros for his customers. Senor Raul loved to sing. Every night he would serenade Marcelina with his sweet songs. Every night Marcelina would dream of the day when she would not have to live in a cage.

Reviews

“ 'Huevos Rancheros' is Stefan Czernecki's answer to sustainable living. Marcelina is a hen who knows how to accomplish goals, enjoys music and avoid danger. Complete with a recipe for a tasty Mexican breakfast.” — BC Bookworld, Summer 2002

“Fall in love with Marcelina, a dancing chicken who dreams of freedom and is clever enough to outsmart the trickster coyote. Breakfast has never been as charmingly portrayed as in this eye-candy book, both written and illustrated by Vancouver's Stefan Czernecki.” — Sara O'Leary Vancouver Sun November 3, 2001
