Hattie Peck The Journey Home by Emma Levey

Hattie Peck adores eggs of all kinds. However, she cannot make any of her own. No worries--Hattie has collected eggs from all over the world, hatched them, and raised her blended family of cockatoos, storks, owls, anything from an egg--even reptiles.

But now it's time. They all need to leave her big loving nest.
So off the flock goes, on their biggest--and saddest--adventure. Even though, in her heart, Hattie knows it's best.

A poignant story about family and differences, making hard decisions, letting go and inclusion. It's not all sad, though, due to a nice twist ending as in the first book.

Bright colorful and lively illustrations and lots of information about egg-bearing animals round out the story.
