The Magical Singing Egg

The Magical Singing Egg book cover

Inside the world of the book

A personal story, held inside a wider world.

Family running toward a yellow taxi in Woodside

The journey begins in Woodside, Queens, with a four-year-old boy twisting back toward the pigeons as his mother pulls him toward an airport taxi. From there, a family memory opens into a summer in County Sligo.

Among muddy lanes, busy grown-ups, and chickens he can never catch, he discovers an egg glowing with impossible colors and humming a tune like an Irish jig.
