About the story:

"I'll try not to worry too much, I'll be good to my fellow whites, and at the same time I'll be good to myself... The other whites aren't perfect, and I don't have to be perfect either."

In this story, get to know the good egg, it is a very good egg, really good, unlike all the eggs that you live with in the large egg carton, which behave very badly, so the good egg becomes exhausted, and suffers from psychological pressure because of its relentless attempts to remain perfect and change the behavior of eggs that surrounds it. But when cracks appear on her shell, she makes a fateful decision, which will be the reason for saving her shell and for her full recovery.

After their first masterpiece, "The Bad Seed," the distinguished duo Jory John and Pete Oswald team up again to bring us this smart and funny story, which reminds us of the importance of balance, moderation, self-care, and acceptance of those we love, even if they sometimes act like bad eggs.

This story will make everyone laugh, young and old, in collective or individual readings, and each of us will find something of himself and his suffering in it. This wondrous story is perfect for everyone.
