Hook by Ed Young

The Caldecott Medalist Ed Young does it again … a simple story enhanced with gorgeous images seems to lift young Hook off the page.

Adopted as an egg by a loving hen, Hook hatches into the grounded life of a young chick. But clearly, he is not like the others … he literally falls again and again – but picks himself right up – in his pursuit to discover his real self. Eventually with the tenacious help of a young boy, Hook finds his true path and learns to soar.
