What is Pip and Egg about?

One bright afternoon, Pip meets Egg, and the two become inseparable. They are almost the same size and shape, like two peas in a pod. But as they grow, their paths begin to differ: Pip puts down roots and becomes a tree, while Egg hatches and grows wings. Egg longs to explore the world, leaving Pip behind. Although they miss each other, their friendship remains strong. Can two very different friends find their way back to one another?
