Vita likes to stand close to others . . . which is normal for a battery cage hen. But when she is rescued to live on a free-range farm she finds that her new friends don’t like her standing so close! How will Vita learn the rules of personal space?

Sharing a story is a great way to help children who display challenging behaviour to recognise feelings and behaviours. The fun characters and humorous rhyming text in Vita the Chicken can help engage great conversations about appropriate behaviour and allow teachers/parents to address unwanted behaviour in a positive way and help children relate the behaviour to consequences.

This story has been created to be particularly pertinent to supporting children to understand respecting personal space.
