How can it be Easter without chocolate covered Easter eggs? Five year old Lotta can't imagine such a disaster. But the local candy store has gone out of business, and, according to Lotta's parents, that's where the Easter bunny gets his eggs.

Luckily, Lotta just happens to have her own secret supply of candy. Her friend Vasilis gave her his remaining stock before he closed his candy store. But will Lotta's brother and sister want to hunt for marzipan pigs and chocolate Santas on Easter? Of course, they will!

Gentle water colors capture the beauty of Swedish spring and the charm of the determined Lotta.
