About the story
It all begins with a green egg dotted with golden specks and a sneeze that sends the leaves flying. Emma gives food, a bath and a cozy little bed to Pitoco, and learns that caring for someone is hard work — but it fills the heart.
When the baby starts calling for his mother, Emma makes a promise and sets off on a night-time adventure: a slippery log across the river, a herd of long-necked giants and a moonlit hill. A tale of courage, responsibility and the love of those who care, with room to include the child’s mother or father, grandparents, the family pet and the child’s town.
