Gracie was a new chick in the coop, adopted by the Farmer and Champ the Dog. Being different, Gracie was often pushed around by the other hens. Gracie was self conscious because she had ordinary feathers and was clumsy. One day, Miss Bossy Pants and the other hens surrounded Gracie and began pecking her with mean words. Champ the Dog intervened. That night, Gracie has a dream and receives a crown and a purple mantle. When she awakes, Gracie feels different. Gracie flaps her purple feathers and flies to the top of the hen house where she can see vineyards, sunflowers and amazing things. Gracie smiles and waves at Miss Bossy Pants and to Gracie's surprise, Miss Bossy Pa nts waves back! Gracie the Purple Chicken and Champ start a friendship club called "Champions" to end bullying and promote friendship. Follow @Graciethepurplechicken on FaceBook and Instagram.
