MARIE’S MAGIC EGGS: HOW MARIE PROCAI KEPT THE UKRANIAN ART OF PYSANKY ALIVE written by Sandra Neil Wallace and illustrated by Evan Turk

Sandra Neil Wallace writes vividly and Evan Turk’s illustrations bring alive the enchantment of Pysanky art in MARIE’S MAGIC EGGS: HOW MARIE PROCAI KEPT THE UKRANIAN ART OF PYSANKY ALIVE. Marie grows with the Ukrainian tradition, watching her Baba make pysanky, beautifully decorated eggs every Easter. The book describes so much—the process, the symbolism of decorations, and close relationship with her grandmother and the sadness of missing her Baba when she immigrates to America as a thirteen-year-old in 1911. Longing for home as she adjusts to to life in Minneapolis, brings her cherished tradition to the United States, as well as welcoming Ukranian immigrants adjust to new life. .
