A MAGA Easter Egg Hunt

The White House Easter Egg Roll. A boy in dinosaur pajamas. And a six-foot Easter Bunny with painted eyes that never close.

Charlie Peterson is back.

Last Christmas, Charlie's presents were stolen by illegal immigrants. His family drove to Washington to see it fixed. The Navy was sinking boats. His teacher Mrs. Patterson had disappeared. He was thankful for dinosaurs.

Now it's spring. Uncle Rick scored tickets to the White House Easter Egg Roll - straight from a guy in a Facebook group called Patriots Who Pray - and the whole Peterson family is making the pilgrimage to the South Lawn. There will be eggs. There will be a speech. There will be a very large rabbit that cannot blink.

On the drive down, the radio cycles through Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, and the latest universities to lose their federal funding. Dale says all of it the way he says things are beautiful. Charlie watches the highway and wonders if the Easter Bunny lives at the White House too.

On the lawn, Charlie meets Maya, who has a blue egg painted with white flowers. Her mother painted it. They roll eggs together. For fifteen minutes, everything is just grass and sun and wooden spoons and the small problem of an egg that keeps going left.

Then the President appears on the balcony. The Easter Bunny stands beside him. The speech begins.

A MAGA Easter Egg Hunt is the second book in the MAGA Seasonal Celebrations series - a companion to A MAGA Christmas Carol and a work of political satire rendered in the language of a children's picture book, illustrated with the warm, technically accomplished style of paintings that look, at first glance, like celebration.

Charlie doesn't understand tariffs. He doesn't understand the Alien Enemies Act or federal funding or why Cuba is nervous or what Venezuela was. He doesn't know where Mrs. Patterson went, and he still hasn't gotten his LEGO.

But he has his crayons. And he's getting better at the teeth.

For readers who believe that sometimes the clearest view of the world belongs to someone who is three feet tall and paying attention.
