A joyful 2-year-old girl with light brown curly hair and rosy cheeks in a pastel floral dress crouches smiling before a tiny sky-blue wooden door set in a mossy oak stump in a colorful garden; Benny, a fluffy cream rabbit with pale pink speckles, hops up on his hind legs invitingly, while Sammy, a mischievous bright red squirrel with sparkling eyes, performs a comic pirouette on a pile of leaves behind him — the scene suggests she’s discovering the door to Giggle Land, with soft colors, round features and watercolor textures with light splashes to convey magic and laughter.

Designed for toddlers (2 years and under): a deliberately short, very simple and reassuring story.

Lila was a little girl with a big imagination. One sunny day, she found a tiny door in her garden. “What's this?” she asked, peeking through.

“Hello!” squeaked a small, fluffy bunny. “I'm Benny! Come on in!”

Lila giggled. “In where?”

“Through the door!” Benny jumped excitedly. “It leads to Giggle Land!”

“What's that?” Lila asked, her eyes wide.

“It's a place where everything is funny!” Benny said. “Like dancing flowers and tickling grass!”

“Tickling grass?” Lila laughed. “Let's go!”

They squeezed through the door. In Giggle Land, flowers danced. “Whee!” they sang.

“Let's dance too!” Lila twirled.

Suddenly, a silly squirrel named Sammy appeared. “Benny! Lila! Watch me!” he said, spinning around and falling into a pile of giggling leaves.

“Funny squirrel!” Lila laughed.

“Join us!” Benny squeaked, bouncing.

Lila clapped her hands. “I love Giggle Land!”

And so, they danced and laughed until the sun began to set. “Time to go home!” Benny said.

“Can we come back?” Lila asked.

“Always!” Benny smiled.

With a wave, Lila stepped back through the door, her heart full of giggles.
