Henny Penny

Written by Palmetto Bluff

“The sky is falling! The sky is falling!”

Or so said little Henny Penny in the classic children’s tale of the same name. A beloved story more commonly known in the United States as Chicken Little, Henny Penny is a European folktale about a chicken that believes the world is coming to an end after an acorn hits her on the head.

And while it may have seemed like little Henny Penny was right and the world was indeed coming to an end in 2020, this story is not one of morals or doomsday. Sure, it includes a familiar cast of characters, but this is a story where the fox is not the villain, but more of a mother hen.

But enough about folktales. This story actually begins with a fox.

Being a right-brained creative with an artistic flair—not to mention a coffee lover with two children—it wasn’t long before I discovered this hidden gem in downtown Savannah. Located just a few blocks from Forsyth Park and offering made-from-scratch baked goods, sandwiches, and coffee from renowned Savannah-roasted Perc Coffee, Henny Penny is a family-friendly art space that caters to both parents and children.
(A win-win if you ask me.)
