Sophie and Her Sisters

Two granddaughters of Ukrainian immigrants have collaborated on a new Easter children’s classic entitled   “Sophie and Her Sisters Decorate Eggs for Easter.”©

This beautifully illustrated 32-page story --  of five Ukrainian sisters and their three nieces -- is devoted to the beloved tradition of pysanky – eggs that are decorated with multi-layers of beeswax and colored dyes which progress from light shades (yellow) to darker ones (blue, red, or black).  Pysanky and the hours dedicated to decorating multi-colored eggs typically involve a community of relatives and friends, often sisters, who come together annually at Easter time.
