"Evalina's Egg" by Sarah & Rew Jones is perfect for families who love adorable fiction with beautiful, classic language. Great photography gives each page a claymation feel that blends realism and fantasy. Evalina's egg serves a gentle bedtime or "any time" story to read to young children. Longer sentences help appeal to older elementary-aged children while still captivating younger siblings. My 6yo and 8yo love it.

When her community comes around her to support her, she is enveloped in thesame care as she gives her egg, and the task becomes much more do-able. This story of love, community, and sacrifice teaches us about the value of caring for one another in our need, and is sure to appeal to anyone who has ever depended on someone bigger and stronger than them. Families of all different shapes and sizes, biological, adoptive, foster, etc, and the communities that surround them will appreciate this sweet story of what it means to risk and sacrifice yourself for someone you love, and come out the other side the one who was rewarded.Help other parents find the book by leaving a review!
