It was a joyful Sunday as everyone celebrated Easter throughout the whole world. We, at Bookworm also had decided to celebrate Easter in our very own way. With lots of planning and preparations done in advance, we were all set for the event of the year. Yes!! An Easter Egg Hunt at Garcia de Orta garden with loads of other activities like face painting, crafts, cookie decorations, books to browse, books to buy and last but definitely not the least…….Story Read Alouds for the children.

As we trooped in the quiet garden, we were a bit apprehensive as there was no one. But as it neared 5 pm, the garden started buzzing with bunnies. Bunnies of all age groups had gathered for the Egg Hunt. They were assembled into groups with the proud leader bunnies holding baskets and off they went after listening to the rules. We had a few enthusiastic parents too who wanted to participate in the hunt but were gently dissuaded from it.

It was a scramble for the eggs and we even had some cute bunnies trying to put across their views about which group reached when and with how many eggs. But when it became apparent that everybody had won and each and every bunny would get treats, the arguments fizzled out and big grins spread around on each and every face. Cookie decorations and face paintings and crafts were in big demand too. The Story Read Alouds also had many parents bringing their children over to listen to the special Easter story. It was such a perfect setting to read and listen to a story in Nature’s lap. Although many children had to be prodded to come and listen, I am always glad to see how a story book has the power to cast a magic spell on children who then refused to leave and wanted to listen to another story.
