Included in this Set:
The Egg Tree written and illustrated by Katherine Milhous - Atheneum Books for Young Readers - Includes Dust Jacket
A classic Easter tale based on Pennsylvania Dutch traditions of decorating eggs. On one memorable Easter morning, siblings Katy and Carl join an egg hunt at their grandmother’s farm and discover a collection of beautifully painted eggs that Grandmom made in her youth. These hand‑decorated eggs are hung on a small branch to create an “egg tree,” a festive tradition brought to the United States by German‑speaking settlers and still celebrated in parts of Pennsylvania today. Filled with detailed folk‑art‑inspired illustrations and rooted in cultural customs (taken from the author's own family history), this picture book won the Caldecott Medal for its artistic storytelling and has enchanted young readers for generations.
