In the meadow of Whistlewood, Easter was the most magical time of year. Every bunny had one very special job: painting eggs for the Great Easter Celebration.

But this year, one little bunny named Poppy felt nervous. What if her eggs weren’t good enough?

Chapter 1: Poppy’s Paints

Poppy loved colors. She had jars of paint in every shade—lemon yellow, sky blue, rosy pink, and minty green.

When the Egg Painting Day arrived, Poppy stared at the blank eggs in front of her. “What if everyone laughs at my designs?” she whispered.

She dipped her brush into blue and painted a swirl. Then added dots of pink. Slowly, a garden of color bloomed on her first egg.

Chapter 2: Trouble in the Meadow

Just as she was finishing her sixth egg, a gust of wind blew through her workshop.

“OH NO!” cried Poppy. Her basket tipped over, and the eggs rolled away!

Poppy chased them across the meadow—but they were gone.

Chapter 3: A Surprise Around Every Corner

Feeling defeated, Poppy walked home. But then something magical happened.

She saw Benny the squirrel showing his friends a beautiful egg he’d found in the grass.

She passed the duck pond and saw ducklings admiring another painted egg floating on a lily pad.

One by one, Poppy saw her eggs scattered throughout Whistlewood—each one bringing joy.

Chapter 4: The Big Celebration

That night, the animals gathered under the full moon for the Easter Celebration.

“I found this near the stream!” said Bella the badger, holding up one of Poppy’s eggs.

“So did I!” squeaked a field mouse.

Poppy’s cheeks turned pink. “Those are my eggs,” she said shyly. “They blew away.”

The owl elder smiled. “And they brought smiles to everyone. What a beautiful gift.”

Conclusion

From that day on, Poppy didn’t worry about being perfect. She painted from the heart, knowing her art could brighten someone’s day.

And every Easter, the bunnies of Whistlewood left their painted eggs around the meadow—not just for celebration, but for sharing joy.
