Illustrated by
Katya Krenina.
Villagers shelter golden birds in their homes during a bitter winter and are rewarded with pysanky--gorgeously decorated eggs--on Easter Sunday. Exquisitely detailed illustrations complete this engaging tale: pale yellow backgrounds reflect the birds' golden feathers, borders echo the designs on the eggs, and the Ukrainian costumes are lovingly rendered.
