Square Beak by Chyng Feng Sun, illustrated by Chihsien Shen [in What Do I Read Next? Multicultural Literature]
Square Beak is aptly named for her square-shaped beak. Because she looks different from the other chickens in the yard, she is ostracized. She wanders outside her small world, and becomes famous for the beautiful, unusual eggs she is able to lay. But sudden popularity does not necessarily bring her happiness.
