One Hen: How One Small Loan Made a Big Difference (CitizenKid, 5) Review: YOU can be successful! - I love this book! Based on a true story, a small boy in Ghana borrows a very small sum and buys a chicken. He sells eggs, uses profit to buy more chickens, a chicken coop, etc. Over time he works with his mom to better feed the family, and develop a business. As an adult, he marries and supports his family, he owns and manages a chicken farm that employs some of the neighbors. He is a success. I share this story with 2nd graders at a Title 1 school. It is a great story of personal success based on hard work and persistence. Review: Inspiring story with valuable lessons to be learnt and shared! - Gorgeous and colourful illustration written in simple and easy to understand English. This is an inspiring story based on a true character that if you start small and dream big, you never know where it can take it. What I really liked about this story is how it teaches you to give back to the community and the principle of micro finance. The central character uses uses his wealth and knowledge to help other people in his community improve their lives and acquire their own wealth. It also teaches the value of paying it forward. Those who received help from him are made to promise that they will extend help to someone else. People are not greedy and selfish nor are they fearful that by sharing, they will have less for themselves. I think it's a good reminder that we should not be afraid to share because instead of being shortchanged, we actually gain more in return. This is a great book for both children and adults! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #784,960 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #34 in Children's Africa Books #74 in Children's Money #89 in Children's Money & Saving Reference (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (192) | | Dimensions | 9.45 x 0.65 x 12.4 inches | | Grade level | 3 - 7 | | ISBN-10 | 1554530288 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1554530281 | | Item Weight | 1.15 pounds | | Language | English | | Part of series | CitizenKid | | Print length | 32 pages | | Publication date | February 1, 2008 | | Publisher | Kids Can Press | | Reading age | 3 - 11 years, from customers | ## Images ![One Hen: How One Small Loan Made a Big Difference (CitizenKid, 5) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81FwyEGjxYL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ YOU can be successful! *by S***Y on November 13, 2025* I love this book!
