P. Zonka Lays an Egg

Whether you're a last-minute Easter shopper, or just a lover of the bright and delightful, this new picture book by Seattle writer and illustrator Julie Paschkis is nearly impossible not to pick up and page through. Living in a world that's like a traditional Ukrainian dyed egg stretched across picture-book pages, P. Zonka is a patient hen who endures the mockery of her peers for not meeting her laying quotas until she produces a single egg as beautiful as what she sees around her.
