Stories of hidden treasures: all the stories (21)

Age:

A 4-year-old girl with a round face, light brown braided hair, big bright eyes and an enchanted smile holds a small golden key in one hand and opens a wooden chest with the other; she looks happy and curious with rosy cheeks, leaning toward the chest, wearing a red polka-dot dress and muddy red boots. A beige-eared puppy named Pip wags his tail and sniffs the chest at her right feet. A worn brown teddy bear sits on a low shelf behind her. The scene is inside a sky-blue playhouse with white clouds, light wooden plank floor, a small shelf of crayons and books, and a square window letting in golden light. The open chest contains painted stones, a star-shaped cookie and a colorful scarf; the centered composition uses warm colors and tactile textures (grained wood, plush fabric, cracked paint).
