A book as symbolic as the title implies. What is born, concepted then created, is light and laden, at once, black, white and infinite variegation. The illustrations depict a chick’s struggle to break open its shell. On the inside of each cover-board is another picture of the egg, surrounded by what impresses me as being blood and feathers. There is nothing subtle about this book, besides of course, the zebra print.
