March and April Story

Item #9035

Spring is a time of renewal for the natural world, and as this rabbit has just learned, it can also be a season full of surprises. As if finding a purple egg in the leaves wasn’t enough, March stared in wide wonder when it suddenly began to crack open. Something was in there and it was trying to get out! After much effort and struggle, the egg’s inhabitant finally broke through the shell and revealed itself. “Peep! Peep!” were the hatchling’s first words. Translated, that’s chicken talk for “Mama! Mama!” and while March doesn’t realize it yet, she has become April’s adopted mother. Parent and child may not bear any physical resemblance to one another, but in fact, March and April do have something in common: Easter!
