Promoting the values of sharing, caring and helping others, author Sophie Sayle has created the perfect book to give a 4-6 year old with a small chocolate treat for Easter. This attractive, hard covered book, is beautifully illustrated by New Zealand winner of prestigious illustration awards, Daron Parton.

Easter morning has arrived, the Australian bush animals each contribute colours for decorating the eggs left by Easter Bilby, however Echidna is unable to find any colour. No problem his friends share theirs with her.  Soon the bush babies are cradling their eggs and the egg-and-spoon race begins; who will win? Find out how her friends help her, when poor echidna trips and her egg rolls away. 

The adults, sharing this fun story with their youngsters, will find themselves smiling as they read.
