Eggbert

By Ben Boutte, Elise Boutte, Sarah Boutte

An egg who won't hatch. A dream that could break him. And the one job everybody says an egg should never do.

Eggbert was supposed to be a chicken. Instead, he hatched into something nobody on the farm had ever seen - a little egg with arms, legs, and a very big imagination.

Everyone agrees on one thing: an egg's only job is to stay safe. Eggs crack. Eggs break. Everybody knows that. But the night Eggbert spots a roller coaster looping against the sky and hears the sound of happy screaming drift across the fields, something inside his shell goes zing - and he decides he's going to build one of his own.

With the help of two farm girls, a poetry-loving farmer, a treasure-hunting hen, and a brave little sister named Daisy who dreams even bigger than he does, Eggbert sets out to chase the most impossible dream a breakable little egg ever had. But when one of those dreams comes crashing down, Eggbert has to figure out what being careful really means - and whether staying safe is the same as staying still.

Warm, funny, and quietly brave, Eggbert & Daisy is a heartfelt read-aloud and early chapter book for ages 7-10 about big dreams, best friends, and finding the courage to fly even when you're afraid of falling. Perfect for young readers who love stories about resilience, imagination, and believing in yourself.
