A robin's egg, cracked, revealing blackness. Entitled "Cowbird"

An excerpt from the book "Cowbird", on a blurred forest background. The excerpt reads:

They find the shells of two cowbird eggs a few days later, broken in the woodpile. One is just cracked, mostly whole. Through the break in the other egg, Valentine can see the cowbird, pinkish, partially-formed. She tries to show Mira, but Mira doesn't want to look.

"What do you think happened?" she asks. She puts her face right up to the crack, close enough to see the shape of its beak and one black, lidded-over eye.

"Maybe the robin figured it out."

Valentine thinks about this. She peeks one more time into the broken shell. Then she drops the whole egg into a gap in the woodpile. "Good," she says.

Right Row: A close-up of a hybrid human stands behind a dawn w and watches.
Bottom Row: A Jeep leaves behind a devastated city where many tornadoes roll through the city in the background; a tornado destroys a school; a girl stands alone on the beach and watches a tornado touch the ocean.
Left Row: a girl alone looks down a road in search of someone, a tornado in the distance.
Middle Row: A girl and her boyfriend look out at the view; a closeup of a Thomas Guide map page; a Mon and daughter walk and hold hands; a girl and her two best friends hang out.
