True to the tradition from which the Easter Egg Tree sprang,in her story as well as in her pictures, (Milhous) has given lifeand a lovely present-day atmosphere to an old custom that is sureto find wide acceptance".--The Horn Book.

One Easter morning, Katy and Carl went on an egg hunt through Grandmom’s house. Katy couldn’t find anything until she went up to the attic. And there she discovered a very special set of eggs...

Grandmom had painted them when she was a little girl. And now, she hung them from the branches of a tiny tree—an Egg Tree! So began a very special Easter tradition.

This Caldecott Medal-winning story of a Pennsylvania Dutch Easter will surely inspire children to make Egg Trees of their very own.
