Description

For 30 years, Murphy has spent his days at the Bird Sanctuary. Every day is reliably the same. One day, the old, injured eagle decides to make a big change. Murphy decides to become a dad. But despite his preparations and his beautiful nest, the “egg” he finds is not really an egg and will never hatch. How will Murphy fulfill his dreams of fatherhood? Based on a true story, this heartwarming picture book is an ode to every type of father everywhere.

For ages 5-9.
