What if an Easter wish wasn’t about getting something… but becoming someone?
When young Eleanor makes her EggWish to be more brave, it travels through the magical world of Easter Hollow. There, fauns, chicks, and blossom sprites gently shape her wish before the Easter Bunny, Everhop, seals it inside a special egg made just for her.
On Easter Day, Eleanor discovers something surprising: the bravery she wished for was inside her all along.
Eggwish is a heartfelt Easter story about courage, self-belief, and the quiet magic of becoming who you already are.
Perfect for families who love meaningful traditions, gentle magic, and nurturing stories that leave children feeling uplifted and empowered.
