If you only see the comfort and comfort in front of you, you will lose the ability to actively pursue a better future.
A macro picture book that inspires children to think about rights and freedoms
Chickens are very satisfied with the life of having their own place, not worrying about safety, and not having to worry about feed. Of course, they have never thought about it. They take it for granted, but there are actually countless possibilities.
The unexpected visit of this group of capybaras means not only "foreigners" to the chickens, but also the key to triggering them to think about the meaning of their own lives, their right to survive, and to unlock their imagination and hope!

只看見眼前的舒適安逸，就會失去主動追求更好未來的行動力
一本啟發孩子思考權利與自由的宏觀繪本
一本啟發孩子思考權利與自由的宏觀繪本
有一天，農場裡突然來了一群全身毛茸茸、溼答答，而且體型很大的奇怪動物！住在雞舍裡的雞一輩子都沒有看過這種叫做「水豚」的動物，牠們很擔心，這群不速之客不僅可能破壞牠們原有的生活，還會危害牠們的安全，所以絕對不能讓水豚留下來！但是，面對陌生而且體型龐大的水豚，雞根本就不知道怎麼拒絕，只好勉為其難地答應讓牠們留下，條件是水豚必須嚴格遵守規定，絕對不可以靠近雞舍任何一步！
沒想到，原本擔心的事情不但沒發生，雞甚至和水豚成為朋友，展開了一場意外的冒險，看見了未曾想像過的風景……
農場裡的雞一輩子都生活在這裡，唯一的工作，就是每天下蛋，讓主人採收，牠們知道離開農場的那一天，就是被帶去賣掉的那一天，牠們欣然接受這樣的命運，從不覺得奇怪。雞對於有屬於自己的一席之地、不用擔心安全，不必煩惱飼料的生活已經感到非常滿意，牠們當然沒有想過，牠們以為的理所當然，其實擁有無數的可能性。
故事中的水豚就是完全相反的角色，牠們來自野外，牠們是自己的主人，每天必須為了下一餐而煩惱、為了躲避獵人的槍口小心翼翼提防，可是，牠們享有絕對的行動力和自由。這群水豚的意外來訪，對雞的意義不僅只是「外來者」，更是觸發牠們思考自己生命的意義、生存的權利，開啟想像與希望的關鍵！透過這本繪本，期盼孩子對於接收到的資訊，不要未加思考就全盤接收；在現有的框架、別人制定的規則裡，要永保自我思考的空間；不要只因看到眼前一時的安逸舒適，在不知不覺中，放棄了自己本來就享有的自由與權利。
★用一本書的時光，幫孩子上一堂公民課，開啟討論與思辯！
★簡單的用色、少量的對白，細膩的筆觸讓書中角色活靈活現，看見不一樣的動物農莊！
