*Award winner-Caldecott Medal
Last weekend my mom's neighbors taught us how to make pysanky eggs. In the neighbor's book basket (for her granddaughter), this book was displayed in the front. Not having ever read it, I decided to borrow it from the library.
Katy and Carl are spending Easter at their grandparents' farm in Pennslyvania. It is their first egg hunt on the farm. Little Katy does not know about the unique hiding spots for the eggs. Determined to find at least one egg, she ventures into the attic and discovers an old hat box full of painted eggs. Showing them to her grandmother and cousins, Katy revives the tradition of painting pictures on eggs and begins a new tradition, displaying them on a tree.
Pair with: The Easter Egg by Jan Brett, Chicken Sunday by Patricia Polacco and Rechenka's Eggs by Patricia Polacco.
-Borrowed from the library (but I would like to buy this book since it is based on the PA Dutch. Also in the acknowledgements, one individual who inspired the author to write the story is from the county where I reside).
