A little bird, flying in the sky, spies something very beautiful below. She pokes, pecks, and makes a great noise to try and wake it up. Thinking it a very strange egg indeed, she sits upon it. A monkey, watching from a nearby tree, finds this very funny. A bird sitting on an orange. What follows is an original and whimsical tale of wonder, curiosity, and friendship told in the simplest of language and accompanied by delicately bold illustrations.
