A neatly told story to illustrate to young children that not everyone is the same, whether in business, at the office or in other areas of life.

As the story begins most chicken are good business chickens, but there is one chicken, Fran, who no matter what she does doesn't fit the mould and what's required of her to be considered a good business chicken.

Fran is a distraction at work, she loves to tell jokes, bring in treats for her friends but they don't have time to participate.

Fran just cannot keep to her time schedule and be punctual, even though she does try. One day she is called in to see the boss who gives her a chance to improve and change her ways, she needs to work doubly as hard as her colleagues to keep up with the work.

No matter how hard she tries, she just cannot do it. Being like the others just isn't in her. She struggles and one day the boss calls her in again, this time to fire her. Turns out this was the best thing that could happen to Fran.

She thrives, being herself and everyone wants what she's making. So you see Fran is a good business chicken, but in her own way. A good idea for a story with cute illustrations showing that not everyone operates in the same way, that doesn't make them wrong.
