Poppy Paola is a bit shy. She loves to play hide and seek and she often hides behind trees and bushes. She made up her own imaginary flower friend and they tell each other secrets. Poppy Paola is a very happy poppy and she loves to giggle a lot. It is because of this giggling that she can’t stay hidden for very long, because all the other flowers can find her and they all run out in the field to start a new game of hide and seek.
