The Way to Bethlehem by Inos Biffi5/21/2023 Another variation of this folktale can be found in the lovely book: The Birds’ Gift: A Ukrainian Easter Story by Eric Kimmel. It’s a great kickstart to any kind of pysanky projects one might want to delve into. No one captures pastoral Ukraine or Russia like Patricia Polacco and Rechenka’s Eggs is one of our very favorite books to bring out toward the end of Lent and close to the Easter season. The tiniest little sister gets lost and goes through a series of adventures before finding her way back to her home with the other matryoshka sisters. I am especially fond of The Littlest Matryoshka by Corinne Bliss right now because my daughter finally has a sister! And this story captures that special relationship between sisters just beautifully. But I will spotlight my three very favorite (excluding Christmas themes, that is) stories based in Russia from our collection: I’m savoring these precious days with our new baby girl… spending all my hours nursing, changing and holding the baby while wondering how to make the laundry do itself.Īnd I’m watching the Olympics! We love the Olympics in this house! I won’t spend hours telling you about all the great picture books about Russia there are plenty of lists online.
