A Beautiful White Egg is a story about how joy can be reborn, about how life always finds a way, like the hen protagonist of the story: running, clucking, singing and filling all those around her with hope. Boys and girls are the first to chase the hen, plucky, eager to dance, but behind them come families, their own and others, the melée confusing the soldiers. And all because of a hen, which even in the worst of times can gift us "a beautiful white egg."
