The Egg by Geraldo Valério

A wordless book that's obviously all about the art but didn't get to me. It look like the illustrations might have some kind of texture, I'm not sure having read it in a ebook format, maybe the physical copy would be more interesting, but even with that, just not much emotion, perspective or beauty to it in my opinion!

This wordless picture book is very sweet. A crane has an egg,but a storm causes the egg to be lost. The crane goes out seeking her egg and comes back with a very colorful one. But it’s not a crane egg. It’s a baby. The baby is raised by the crane and has a grand time. I read this book as a digital galley and that was not the greatest, but I love the art work and can not wait to see the real thing in print.
