Reach for this book when your child is feeling discouraged by competition or struggles to find their place in a group activity. While it is centered around an Easter egg hunt, the core message focuses on the idea that success isn't always about being the fastest or finding the most items. It celebrates the quiet observer who discovers something meaningful and old, turning a moment of feeling 'left out' into a beautiful new family tradition. This Caldecott Medal winner introduces children to Pennsylvania Dutch folk art and the warmth of multigenerational storytelling. Through Katy's discovery in the attic, parents can discuss how traditions are born and the value of heritage. It is a gentle, artistic story perfect for children ages 4 to 8 who enjoy crafting, history, or cozy visits with grandparents. The book provides a wonderful roadmap for a hands-on family project that bridges the gap between past and present.
