P. Zonka Lays an Egg
Julie Paschkis, illustrated by Julie Paschkis
While the other barnyard hens lay eggs, P. Zonka wanders dreamily and notices the beauty around her. The other chickens do not understand why she has not laid an egg and urge her to try. When she finally does, her egg is unlike the others: it is covered in vivid patterns and colors. The book builds its barnyard story around the tradition of Ukrainian decorated eggs, or pysanka.
