Rooster Wore Skinny Jeans
Rooster Wore Skinny Jeans by Jessie Miller, illustrated by Barbara Bakos
Rooster can hardly wait to open his latest online order. Inside is a pair of skinny jeans with sparkling stitching, a flash of gold and dazzling indigo denim. They fit perfectly, and Rooster struts into the farmyard expecting his friends to admire his fabulous new look.
Instead, the other animals laugh and make unkind remarks about his clothes and skinny chicken legs. Rooster's confidence crumples, and he hides away feeling miserable. Then he catches sight of himself in a mirror and remembers something important: he loves the way he looks, even if nobody else does.
With his confidence restored, Rooster climbs high and shows the whole farm that personal style is worth celebrating. Jessie Miller's buoyant rhyming couplets make the story a lively read aloud, while Barbara Bakos fills the bright farmyard scenes with expressive faces, flamboyant poses and small details to spot.
Funny, warm and gloriously confident, Rooster Wore Skinny Jeans opens an accessible conversation about individuality, teasing, self-belief and choosing clothes for your own enjoyment rather than other people's approval.
