In "Three Hens and a Peacock" by Henry Cole, the story follows three hens who are tired of the peacock's constant boasting and showiness. The peacock believes he is the star of the farm and takes pride in his beautiful feathers. However, he soon discovers that the hens are the ones who truly have something special to offer, as they lay eggs and contribute to the farm's daily life. Through vibrant illustrations and entertaining storytelling, the book highlights themes of teamwork, humility, and the importance of recognizing the value in everyone, regardless of their outward appearance.

Golden Sower Award - Primary
This book was recognised in the Primary category of the Golden Sower Award . Just as The Sower sows seeds, symbolizing the agriculture, life and prosperity of the state, the The Golden Sower Award seeks to sow seeds of literacy in children by encouraging them to read. The award became affiliated with the Nebraska Library Association as a committee under the School, Children and Young Peoples Section of the NLA in 1985. In 2016, the committee revised the categories of books in order to better describe the generally intended reading levels of the program. The three categories are now: Picture Books: (formerly Primary) generally appropriate for K-2 children; Chapter Books: (formerly Intermediate) intended to be appropriate for grades 3-5; Novel: (formerly young adult) appropriate for grades 6-8. In 2023, the committee revised and renamed the categories, keeping similar grade level designations, but adding an additional category targeted at high school readers. Each year, thousands of Nebraskas youth participate in the Golden Sower Award by reading titles, talking about the books with others, holding book battles, voting for their favorites, and throwing celebrations for the winners.
