Paschkis presents one possible origin for Ukrainian pysanky. The chickens dismiss P. Zonka as a dreamer, more concerned with flowers, clouds, and the sky's colors than with egg-laying duty. Cajoled into laying an egg, P. Zonka surprises everyone: her egg contains all the colors and shapes she sees in nature. Paschkis's watercolors are filled with repeated patterns and beautiful use of black outlines.
