In this bedtime story, we meet Max, a thoughtful and creative squirrel who sets out to paint a single acorn—just for fun. But when his forest friends arrive with their own painting requests, Max’s quiet morning becomes a swirl of colour and chaos. With patience, reflection, and support from his community, Max creates The Painting Place—a shared space where creativity and calm can live side by side. This story encourages children to explore self-expression, recognize personal limits, and understand the importance of creating together with kindness and care.
