About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is caught in a loop of 'he started it' or 'it wasn't me,' especially during those days when sibling bickering seems to happen for no reason at all. It provides a lighthearted way to pause a mounting argument and help children see the absurdity of their own squabbles without the weight of a lecture. The story follows the Hueys, a group of identical, egg-like creatures who find themselves in a massive, chaotic argument. The twist is that nobody actually remembers what they are fighting about. Oliver Jeffers uses his signature minimalist style and absurdist humor to explore how pride and stubbornness can keep a conflict going long after the initial spark has died. It is a perfect tool for parents looking to model the value of de-escalation and the humor found in our own mistakes.
