Ricky spends every morning with his best friend, Mia, but one day she begins to act strangely. When Ricky learns that she is busy sitting on her eggs waiting for them to hatch, he stays to accompany her—sitting on a soccer ball, bringing her water, and covering her when it rains. When the chicks hatch, Ricky is almost as proud as Mia. This heartwarming story of friendship teaches children about being understanding, supportive, and patient.
