In the cheerful town of Blossom Hill lived a bright little girl named Ellie Sweetbloom. With her pink cherry dress, red bow, and her bunny Mimi always in hand, Ellie brought springtime energy wherever she went.
As the town prepared for the annual Cherry Picnic Festival, excitement filled the air—until disaster struck. The storage cooler that held all twelve cherry pies was suddenly empty. Completely gone.
Without the pies, the festival couldn’t begin.
Determined to help, Ellie began investigating. She found pink yarn near the cooler, then cherry stains leading toward the garden. Following the trail all the way to the riverside grove, she discovered the “culprits”—a group of tiny squirrels happily dancing around the pies.
They thought the pies were a spring gift from the townspeople.
Instead of scolding them, Ellie invited the squirrels to join the festival and asked for their help collecting more cherries. Together, they gathered enough for fresh pies.
The next day, the Cherry Picnic Festival was more joyful than ever. People and woodland animals shared food, stories, and music under the blooming trees.
The mayor announced,
“This year’s festival was saved thanks to the kindness and clever thinking of Ellie Sweetbloom.”
Ellie hugged Mimi tight, smiling as brightly as the cherry blossoms around her.
