About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is showing an early interest in helping others or when you want a gentle, humorous way to introduce the concept of perspective. It is perfect for the preschooler who is beginning to notice the needs of those around them but might still be learning how the world works. Minerva Louise, a well-meaning and quirky hen, discovers a collection of colorful eggs around the farm. Fearing they have been abandoned and are getting cold, she embarks on a mission to keep them warm. While adult readers will recognize these as Easter eggs, children will delight in Minerva's misguided but deeply kind intentions. It is a sweet exploration of empathy and caretaking that reinforces that being helpful is a wonderful quality, even if we don't always get it exactly right.
