swamp into a roller-skate park. McDarkly has ten days to prove that
the swamp isn't damp and dark, but an enchanted world. Can he do
it, or will he risk losing his home forever?

From standout author, Alex Latimer, and bestselling illustrator,
David Litchfield, comes a beautiful picture book about finding -
and holding on to - friendship. One bright afternoon, Pip met Egg.
Pip is a seed from a glorious tree, and Egg is a bird's egg from a
nearby nest. When Pip and Egg first meet, they are almost the same
size and shape - like two peas in a pod. But as their friendship
grows, so do they - for Pip this means growing roots, but for Egg?
Well, Egg grows wings, and she can't wait to use them. Though Pip
wishes he can follow Egg on her adventures, his roots are strong.
So he watches his friend fly away. But true friends always find
their way back to one another, and there are no truer friends than
Pip and Egg. And if there's one thing they learn, it's that the
circle of life will always lead them back to each other. David
Litchfield is the award-winning author/illustrator of The Bear and
the Piano Lyrical, reassuring story that children will love Lush
