Join us for breakfast and a discussion of the book The Good Egg. Written by Jory John and Pete Oswald, this book tells us the story of a self-identified "good egg" who lives in a carton at the farmer's market with 11 other eggs who all have a tendency to misbehave. This funny and charming story teaches the importance of self-care, accepting others, and finding balance. NAMI Mercer will provide you with a copy of the book that will be yours to keep or to re-gift to a young person in your life.
