A ray of sunshine pierces the winter forest and awakens a pale girl in a flowered green dress. She is Spring, and everything she touches blossoms with life, until she find a little bird half-dead from cold. To help the bird live, she transforms it into a warm furry rabbit, and the birds show their gratitude by gifting her with colorful eggs, which the rabbit brings in a woven nest basket, and Spring sends them on to the children of the world. This charming modern folktale gives youngsters up to 7 an origin story for the Easter Bunny.
