The Good Egg: An Easter And Springtime Book For Kids (The Food Group)

A #1 New York Times bestseller!

An Amazon Best Books of the Year 2019 selection!

From the bestselling creators of The Bad Seed, a timely story about not having to be Grade A perfect!

Meet the good egg. He’s a verrrrrry good egg indeed.

But trying to be so good is hard when everyone else is plain ol’ rotten.

As the other eggs in the dozen behave badly, the good egg starts to crack from all the pressure of feeling like he has to be perfect.

So, he decides enough is enough! It’s time for him to make a change…

Dynamic duo Jory John and Pete Oswald hatch a funny and charming story that reminds us of the importance of balance, self-care, and accepting those we love (even if they are sometimes a bit rotten).

Perfect for reading aloud and shared story time!

This shows that going through difficult experiences can change you as an individual. The egg wasn't taking care of himself and others began belittling him too. He took a step back, took care of himself, and eventually gained some insight on people.
He chose to love himself. To show some of that to others, nobody is perfect but we aren't either. Live in love and love will find you, even if it only comes from you for a while.
