The Egg Tree

The Egg Tree opens with a rooster on Easter morning. Two siblings, Katy and Carl awaken, looking for the easter bunny. Many other children join in and the hunt for easter eggs begins. Katy struggles to find eggs, as the easter bunny has hidden them in strange places. Finally Katy finds some eggs. But they are not ordinary eggs. Through this experience Katy, and the other children, learn about her grandmother’s life, their family’s easter traditions, and the importance of tradition as well as family.
