One morning after a strong wind storm, a little Blue Tit named Barry discovered that his four eggs were missing. The storm blew them away, and now he has no idea where to find them. He goes to the water voles, Wilson and Felicity, begging for help. They jump right into action seeking the field mice twins, Jeremy and Vincent, to aid in the search. Once the mice were told of the situation, they raced back to Barry’s tree and, along the way, ran into the fox Victor. Victor is wise and knows everything that goes on in the woods around him; he, too, sets off to the tree to help find the missing eggs. Quickly Victor points out that the eggs must have blown into the river. Wilson and Felicity dive down and soon find the first missing egg. Can they work together and find all four missing eggs and save Barry’s family?

Tales from Brook Meadow: The Tale of the Fallen Eggs, written by Kevin Richardson and illustrated by Caroline Hazell, is a heartwarming children’s book about teamwork and friendship. Children will see in this picture book how animals from all over the woods, even a fox, come together despite their differences and work together when disaster strikes.

This is the value of building a community, and one that children will be able to relate to and understand.
