About This Book
Two Amish sisters, Naomi and Ruth, find an unusual egg and secretly hatch it, only to discover it produces a spectacular peacock instead of a plain chicken. Worried that their community will consider the fancy bird too "worldly," they fear the worst - until they learn that even in a plain community, there is room for the extraordinary.
Why We Love This
Patricia Polacco's warm storytelling shines here, and the message about accepting things that are different - even in a community that values simplicity - is both gentle and powerful.
