Pippa the parrot lived in the Enchanted Garden, a wonderful place full of surprises. Pippa was known everywhere for being cheerful. The morning sun painted the sky in soft golds and pinks. Every morning began with a happy stretch, a big plan, and a little song that Pippa hummed while getting ready.
