Journey Into Climate Crisis
In the vast, wild land of Twigs, trees are devastated by ferocious bark beetles, horrific firestorms destroy forests, melting glaciers flood lakes and valleys, and wildlife is in danger from the loss of their food and homes.
Suddenly thrust upon dangerous paths, one young Twig named Leaf and his forest friends discover their world has unexpected help. In the midst of disappearing habitats, beavers build mighty dams to control floods and quench wildfires. Bark beetles are battled against all odds. Rare trees are saved from extinction. Glaciers may shrink, but their precious water is not lost.
At last a lesson is learned from the unexpected eruption of a mighty volcano ~ incredible adaptation is possible.
So Leaf and his Twig friends stick together and battle to survive.
Leaf & the Rushing Waters
A glacial lake bursts its ice dam and floods an
old growth forest! At once, stick creatures known
as Twigs are stranded in their mammoth tree
home. Desperate to help, two young Twigs, Leaf
and Rustle, fly away on a giant leaf to search for
a goliath and sinister leader of a beaver colony
named Slapper. Soon a mysterious Twig and her
chipmunks join the quest, but the journey proves
even more treacherous. Slapper must build
a mighty dam, but will he even try?

Leaf & the Long Ice

its melting glacier. One day, Leaf’s two young

snow, but soon the Twig twins are lost in a maze
of endless ice tunnels. With the help of a
grumpy hermit and feisty pika, Leaf searches
the blue tubes for the lost Twig twins.

Leaf & Echo Peak
A mammoth volcano rumbles a warning…
Twigs must escape when Echo Peak wakes up,
but all the forest paths are perilous. Many
Twigs leap into a treacherous river, while others
dare the sheer cliffs of a gorge. Leaf and his
brave friends risk the gloom of a snaking,
prehistoric lava tube, but panicked bats
and moles block their way. Twigs seek safety
in a distant Red Forest, but does it even exist?
