Butterfly bedtime stories
Ada follows a butterfly from blossom to bluebell, looking for a new color to give Grandpa on a wooden Easter egg. Mallow rides Anwen’s watering can while hurried pours soak a boot and a farm gate. Flick’s pauses lead Oona toward a firm trail and a sheltered dip. Choose a color hunt, a muddy little joke, or a quiet discovery before dusk.

Ada’s ten-page Easter story suits eight and nine. She draws the places the butterfly has landed instead of trying to catch its changing color, then gives Grandpa an egg called Following-You. Anwen’s nine-page farm story suits read-aloud time around six. It happens before lunch and ends with wet boots, a dry butterfly passenger, and a contented walk home. Oona’s nine-page trail story suits read-aloud time around eight and finishes with warmth, fading light, and her nose tucked beneath her frill. Choose the egg for color names and Grandpa’s jokes, the watering can for a squish and a slosh, or Oona for a quieter close.
