Their arrival sparks a special feeling among their grandparents and their grandmother’s nephew, Ethan.

With the help of their grandparents, the children mature quickly into caring and competent young people as they take on responsibilities at the campground and learn how to care for their environment. The children also learn about their totem animals, and as they do, they meet and create deeper connections with these animal beings.
