A truly delightful bedtime story for pre-schoolers about the bond between mothers and their babies.

Holly’s dad decides to tell her a bedtime story about the night she was born so Holly asks if she hatched out of an egg like a chicken. Dad tells her if she were a new chick, her mum would have fluffed up her feathers and sat on her to keep her warm. ‘Your mother didn’t do that’. They go through all the animals they can think of until Holly’s dad finally tells her what her mother did do when she was born!
