Described as “The Korean Charlotte’s Web”, this bittersweet tale has sold over two million copies worldwide. It tells the story of the plucky hen, Sprout, who dreams of escaping into the wild and hatching an egg that isn’t carted off to the market. Eventually, she finds herself an egg, which turns out to be a duck. Nevertheless, the unconditional love of a mother reigns supreme, even over her grief as she finally watches her duck son fly off, leaving the little hen behind.
