The joy of colouring, for free
The story follows a young, eager squirrel named Pipkin who is tasked by the Head Nut Collector with taking inventory of everything in the central forest glade. Pipkin counts all the items he encounters, from the single grumpy badger to the ten speckled toadstools, learning his numbers one through ten as he goes. Ultimately, Pipkin discovers that even the smallest items—like the pile of shiny pebbles—are important when you are the one doing the counting.
Nothy's Riverside Vigil
In the ancient, sun-baked canyons, where towering rust-coloured cliffs touched the endless azure sky, lived Nothy, a gentle Nothronychus. Her skin was a mosaic of earthy greens and soft ochres, blending perfectly with the rugged landscape. She had long, graceful claws, but they were used for tenderly shifting her precious nest, not for battle.
Nothy's nest, woven from sturdy river reeds, sat nestled beside a sparkling, emerald stream. The water, clear as polished crystal, burbled playfully over smooth, grey-blue rocks, creating a soothing lullaby. Her large, intelligent eyes, the colour of warm amber, watched over the speckled, pale jade eggs within the nest. Each one held the promise of a tiny, new life. The air was filled with the sweet scent of prehistoric ferns and the gentle gurgle of the stream, a peaceful haven for a mother's watchful love.
Deep within the emerald embrace of the mountain wood, where ancient trees draped with emerald moss reached for the sapphire sky, lived a most unusual flower named Rosie. Rosie was a Rafflesia arnoldii, known for her enormous size and, well, her rather distinctive scent. But Rosie was special; she always wore a cheerful, knowing smile.
Her petals, the colour of deep maroon velvet, were speckled with creamy ivory spots, looking like polka dots on a giant, happy cushion. She rested nestled amongst ferns of brilliant jade, with a sparkling, crystal-clear stream gurgling past her, reflecting the distant, misty peaks of the mountains.
Despite her "fragrant" reputation, the tiny, iridescent beetles and butterflies often stopped to admire her grand beauty. Rosie didn't mind her unique perfume; it simply meant fewer interruptions for her contemplative days. She'd beam her wide, infectious smile at every passing cloud and sunbeam, a true testament to finding joy and beauty in being perfectly, wonderfully herself amidst the vibrant, untouched wilderness.
In a forgotten corner of the Whispering Peaks, where ancient vines twisted into natural masterpieces, lived a magnificent griffin named Sterling. His feathers were the colour of twilight amethyst, and his powerful beak, a polished obsidian. But it was his eyes that held the most wonder—two vast, spiralling pools of molten gold, reflecting the very stars.
One serene evening, as Sterling watched the sunset paint the sky in hues of fiery crimson and soft lavender, a particularly plump firefly, glowing with a gentle emerald light, landed delicately on his noble nose. This was Flicker, a bold little insect with wings like spun moonlight. Inside a heart-shaped frame woven from shimmering ivy, Sterling sat perfectly still, his giant golden eyes softening with affection as Flicker's light pulsed, a tiny, glowing beacon of friendship against the griffin's powerful form. Their bond, unspoken yet profound, illuminated the quiet magic of the mountain.
The Sapphire Butterfly Surprise
Beneath the ancient oak, whose mighty bark was splashed with mossy emerald and deep violet shadows, sat a wondrous piece of furniture. It was a garden chair fashioned as a giant butterfly, its wrought-iron wings gleaming with iridescent sapphire and ruby enamel that caught the afternoon light.
It rested in a vibrant sea of daffodils, a carpet of molten gold and creamy vanilla blooms stretching as far as the eye could see. Suddenly, two little hedgehogs, Bramble and Pip, poked their noses out. Their cocoa-brown quills tipped with cream bristled straight up in utter shock. They froze, staring with wide, surprised eyes at the shimmering seat, amazed to find such a jewel hidden in their familiar yellow meadow.

The Cheerful Queen of the Mountain Wood
The story is about Rosie, a giant Rafflesia arnoldii flower living in a mountain wood. Despite her large size and peculiar smell, Rosie is a cheerful, contented flower with maroon and ivory-spotted petals who always wears a wide smile. She happily observes the world around her, proving that she can find joy and beauty in being unique within the vibrant wilderness.
In a hidden corner of the Jade Realm, the fairy Lian kneels beside a mirror-still pond. Her silken robes flow like liquid sunset, shifting from soft peach to vibrant saffron. With a gentle smile, she tilts a giant emerald-green lotus leaf, pouring crystalline dewdrops into the waiting mouth of a serene koi.
The fish, with scales shimmering like polished turquoise and hammered gold, rises to meet the gift in a dance of bubbles. Surrounding them, heavy lotus blossoms unfurl in shades of blush-pink and cream, their golden canters glowing like tiny suns. In this sanctuary of ink and imagination, the air smells of sweet nectar, and every ripple on the sapphire water tells a story of ancient peace.
