    Edward the Egg: A Different Kind of Brave: Book Cover

    Edward the Egg: A Different Kind of Brave

    Written by Julia Fagundus

    Illustrated by Madison Mirra

    Ages 3-10 | 75 Pages

    Publisher: RoyalKIND | ISBN-13: 9798990630215

    What to Expect: Friendship, kindness, courage, early reader, coloring

    Edward the Egg is a story about reciprocity, teaching readers that doing the right thing isn’t always easy, but it is usually worthwhile.

    Edward the Egg needs ingredients to make his family’s “yummy to the tummy” cheese biscuits—but there are so many things to be afraid of when buying groceries. Someone might try and buy him, animals on the way to the store might try and eat him, or he might get hit by a car and crack.

    Nevertheless, Edward is determined to be brave. He doesn’t just go to the store but also takes the time to help a lady who can’t reach the shelves; cheer up the cashier; give his friend, Tom, a drink; and even rescue a baby fox. At each step, it takes all of Edward’s courage to take risks and be kind to others, but he is repaid with new friends who look out for him in turn.

    Edward the Egg: A Different Kind of Brave is filled with positive examples and language that validates the anxiety many children feel about taking risks. The story reassures readers that with care and courage, risks can be rewarding. Edward’s worries and dilemmas are relatable, and readers will learn a lot from how he models brave decisions. Throughout the story, simple black-and-white line drawings and blank spaces encourage readers to exercise their creativity through coloring and drawing, while positive affirmations at the end of the book reinforce the messages about friendship and kindness in the story.

    Overall, Edward the Egg is instructive and interactive, allowing readers to learn about kindness and have fun simultaneously.
