E. Dorinda Shelley publishes one-of-a-kind children’s farm storybook

Looking for farm stories children will love? Want to know how farm animals would handle a phenomenon that rarely takes place on a farm? Then pick up “The Helium Egg” by E. Dorinda Shelley.
 
“The Helium Egg” is the second book in The Helium Books series. The characters are inspired by animals the author and her family raised on their “farmette” in Northwest Ohio. A young girl named Kath and her family are the only humans in the series.
 
The story takes place in a barn, where a little black hen finds an egg unlike any other she and the other hens, ducks, and geese had ever laid.  Soft and blue, it expands and floats, much to the shock of the other barnyard animals. They have to sit on the egg to weight it down and keep it from floating out of the barn.
 
Why does the mysterious egg expand and float? What is inside it? E. Dorinda Shelley reveals the answers in “The Helium Egg,” a farm storybook kids and grown-ups will love.
