"Two birds of a feather, a chick and her dad, lived by the shore, in a
radical pad. A legend in surfing, Chick's dad ruled the Roost. Chick's
dream was to learn every move he produced."
So begins the story of a little chick and her dad who take to the beach
so she can finally learn how to surf. At first Chick's mood is foul as
she struggles through some gnarly waters, but soon she is catching waves
on her own board and even doing righteous tricks, just like her rad
dad!
Filled with cool surf lingo, this sweet rhyming picture book is perfect
for summer at the beach and for celebrating the love between a father
and a daughter.
Praise for Surfer Chick

"A most expressive chicken makes a splash in this winning title about
learning to surf. Dempsey keeps her groovy, rhyming text tight to create
a raplike beat that colorfully describes a young chick's adventures
tackling the waves. A guaranteed 'Cowabunga!'"
