"Edward the Egg, A Different Kind of Brave" is a cute adventure story about having the courage to do the right thing. It is also a story about how to find inner happiness and satisfaction. It is also a story about understanding one's limitations and carefully making plans to work within those limitations to achieve your goals. Edward is a resourceful character who is physically very fragile. But he has arms, legs, a bicycle, and a brain on his...well, maybe he doesn't have shoulders, but he does have a brain. And he uses them all to go to the grocery to buy the ingredients for a recipe he loves. The plot has twists and turns, throwing curve balls into Edward's carefully crafted plan, and he must make decisions on the fly to adjust. After some soul-searching, he always decides to go outside his comfort zone to help someone, cheer someone up, reassure someone, or accept someone's kindness toward him. A child can learn so much from this story about what it means to have character and integrity. The illustrations are very crude pencil drawings that are meant to encourage the young reader to draw their interpretation of the scene on a blank page following the illustrations. These drawing opportunities are sprinkled throughout the story. This would be a good story to share with your youngster at bedtime or anytime.
