Sandy the squirrel is a clever problem-solver who prides herself on being prepared for winter. When an unexpected snowstorm hits earlier than usual, the forest animals struggle to find food. Sandy hides her small stash of nuts, afraid she doesn’t have enough to share. But as the days pass, she notices her friends working together to help one another survive. Inspired, Sandy devises a clever plan to bring the animals together and share resources, discovering that sharing makes the winter warmer for everyone.

 The forest is blanketed in thick snow. Animals scurry around, caught off-guard by the sudden change. Sandy watches from her tree hollow, clutching her stash of nuts.


“This storm came too soon! I barely have enough for myself. What if it lasts for weeks?”, said Sandy.

She peers out and sees her friends struggling.
