A Wonderful Blend of Tradition and Art

As an elementary educator, I find that this book is very well-accepted, enjoyed, and useful in the classroom. It should fare just as well at home. Not only does it have some lovely photos of completed eggs, it has a simple step-by-step egg project for children to do. But above and beyond this, it explains the tradition and folklore behind pysanky and krashanky eggs. I enjoyed this book as much as the kids did!
