Mary sets off with dreams of finding the legendary Rainbow Egg.Along the way, Mary encounters a bear with a sweet tooth for honey and a problematic relationship with bees, and a sheep that could double as a stand-up comedian, if only sheep could stand up. The fairies she meets in the valley aren't just magical; they're practically painting Easter eggs while creating Daisy-rain!The Easter Valley itself is wonderful, with the Rainbow Egg in the centre, radiating vibes (and jokes) that keep the fairies in stitches. Mary learns the art of egg decoration, but let's be honest, she's more enchanted by the fairies' ability to laugh while working.In this tale, every turn on the path brings a new punchline, and every character is a comedian in disguise. Mary's journey teaches her the importance of laughter, the art of a good joke, and that sometimes, the real magic of Easter is in a good giggle and the joy of spring. The moral of the story? Life's a hilarious adventure, especially when you're in the company of joking eggs and comedy genius sheeps.
