Sonja takes care of three little chicks with lots of love. She feeds them, protects them and cuddles them. Everywhere Sonja goes, the chicks frolic around her. Under her care, the chicks grow into hens and they even give Sonja a wonderful gift: an egg! One night, Sonja hears noises coming from the chicken coop and discovers that one of her chickens has disappeared. What could have happened to the chicken?

In 'Sonja's Chickens', Phoebe Wahl beautifully shows the coherence in nature and what it means to care for another creature. 'Witch Hazel' and 'Muisjes van papier' by Phoebe Wahl have previously been published.
