When Coulter faces a hurtful encounter with a bully on the school playground because of his dark skin, his teacher, Mrs. Smith, steps in with a clever and memorable classroom experiment. Using farm-fresh eggs that Coulter gathered himself-some brown, some white, and some tan-Mrs. Smith demonstrates a powerful, easy-to-understand lesson. While the eggs look different on the outside, cracking them open reveals that they are exactly the same inside, and that we all share the same human heart as children of God.Written in lyrical, seamless prose and accompanied by charming illustrations, this book is designed to foster empathy, overcome barriers, and encourage children to look beyond surface differences. It serves as a vital addition to any child's library, a perfect bedtime story, and an excellent tool for parents and educators to inspire discussions about love, kindness, and the beauty of our differences. The book also features interactive discussion questions at the end to help young readers apply lessons of grace, dignity, and faith to their own lives.
