Loved it. Especially the illustrations.

The narrative describes Tekla's emotion to celebrate Christian Easter from dancing around the Easter Fire to Eggs decorated with Bible story scenes, in contrast with the expectation of her family who is preparing for the big Feast of the Resurrection of Christ. Tekla lives in a little island off the western coast of Sweden. For Tekla, Easter means "eating lots of eggs" and celebrates with family and church. I highly recommend this book published in 1962, but describe a story of all times.
