This is how it could look
Adorable spring scene: mother duck spirit — tall, dignified duck-being with spring bonnet of flowers, apron, proud waddle — leading row of nine tiny fluffy ducklings across shallow, clear spring stream by stepping stones. Ducklings each having tiny personality: one scared, one excited, one stopped to look at frog, one fallen off stepping stone and paddling, one eating something off ground, one running to keep up. Stream: clear water, tadpoles, water-cress, stepping stones. Willow branches dipping in water. Cherry blossom petals floating on surface. Very thick outlines, very large colour areas.
