The Starry Bird

One morning an egg appears in the meadow below the Great Oak Tree. Neither Jeremy Mouse nor the fairy Tiptoes Lightly have ever seen such a huge egg #xE2;#xAC;#x1C; over a foot tall! They go to Farmer John#xE2;#xAC;"s in search of an answer, but without any luck, and when they return the egg has grown!Thus begins an adventure which involves most everybody on the farm #xE2;#xAC;#x1C; human, animal and sprite. The egg, later hidden deep in the forest, keeps growing and finally hatches in a beautiful way on Easter Sunday.The Starry Bird is an Easter tale with healthy doses of humor, adventure, and just plain fun. But underneath, in a form suitable for children, run the mystery-questions of life, death and resurrection that lie at the heart of Easter.
