This watercolor painting as the illustration for Miz Fannie Mae's Fine New Easter Hat, a children's picture book written by Melissa Milich, published by Little, Brown and Company in 1997.

In this story there was a loving father, mother, a girl and her brothers and sisters, a beautiful easter hat with flowers and four bird eggs.

The next morning, Daddy's left his cap on the rack, and the moment she and I both noticed that there was indeed one certain hat missing from the rack.

Book Summary: Miz Fannie Mae's husband and daughter want to surprise her with a new Easter hat. When they find a beautiful hat draped with lace, flowers, fruit, and a tiny nest of speckled eggs, they know it has got to be the finest Easter hat in all of Meridian City. But little do they know just how truly special it is--the whole family is in for a big surprise when Miz Fannie Mae wears her new hat to church and the eggs suddenly hatch!
