Rechenka’s Eggs

Rechenka’s Eggs is a story about Old Moscow, a babushka, and the eggs she makes during the Easter festival.

From the publisher:

Old Babushka, known throughout all of Moskva for her beautifully painted eggs, is preparing her eggs for the Easter Festival when she takes in an injured goose. She names the goose Rechenka, and they live happily together until one day when Rechenka accidentally overturns a basket, breaking all of Babushka’s lovingly crafted eggs.
