When dreamy hen P. Zonka starts laying eggs, the other chickens are in for a spectacular surprise!
Extraordinary hen P. Zonka spends her time taking in the beauty around her: the shiny green of the grass, the buttery yellow of the dandelions, the deep blue of the sky. The other hens can't understand why she never lays eggs like they do―they think she's just plain lazy. But when P. Zonka finally decides to give egg-laying a try, the other chickens are in for a spectacular surprise! This springtime delight, inspired by Ukrainian pysanky, will enrich the imagination and help readers appreciate the beauty of the world.Author Biography
