Pysanky Promise

November 1, 2019 By LDSPMA Leave a Comment

Pysanky Promise by Cathy Witbeck

When a young girl learns that her grandmother’s hands have grown too shaky to make pysanky (Ukrainian Easter eggs), she learns the art herself, hoping to heal her grandmother’s heart. The book explains the method for making pysanky, as well as a bit about the history, symbolism, and tradition behind the craft.
