The Egg
Imagine you're so afraid of heights that you can't climb a ladder. Now, imagine you decide to go skydiving to confront the worst version of your greatest fear. Disnaut Maria L'naim explores this idea in a potty-humor-packed comedy titled "The Egg."
The protagonists Melvin and Beatrice are extremely self-conscious, under the radar types who go to great lengths not to be noticed. That is, until they start laying eggs. Most people would do everything to further avoid the spotlight, but Melvin and Beatrice use it as an opportunity to break out of their shells and confront society's problems.
Don't let the toilet humor fool you. This book has many serious layers, from the personal and psychological (being comfortable with oneself in order to be comfortable in front of others), to the environmental (the Egg as a metaphor for the earth), to the political (what a polarized government can learn from the yolk and white of an egg). While the book was written with a 3rd to 6th grade audience in mind, grown-ups will also appreciate this unusual tale.

About the Author
Disnaut Maria L'Naim was born in Nadaplais - a small country off the coast of Nowair. The author wrote "The Egg" in a single sitting! After writing the title, he stood up and spent a year trying to figure out how to write the rest of the book. It took a ridiculous number of sittings. L'Naim lives in a house with a family and a dog, and he goes to a job.
Nurit Pacht is a classical violinist. She illustrated The Egg because she thought it would be fun. She thinks more people should do things for fun. Just to be clear, she does not approve of doing bad stuff for fun. Like breaking things. Don't do that. Illustrate a book.
