Hattie Peck: The Journey Home is a charming picture book about a little hen named Hattie Peck who lives alone in her cozy cottage and loves to collect eggs. However, these are not her eggs; they are abandoned, lost, or misplaced eggs from all kinds of birds. Hattie, driven by a powerful sense of motherly love, decides she must take the eggs on an epic journey to find the right mamas and daddies for them. Her incredible quest takes her across towering mountains, over deep seas, and through vast jungles. The story is a lovely tale of determination, empathy, and the diverse meaning of family. Emma Levey’s folk-art style illustrations are rich and detailed, bringing Hattie’s selfless, globe-trotting mission to life in a warm, unforgettable way.
