Description
A heart-warming true story about a baby beaver and a dam made of decorations, perfect to share with little ones this Christmas.In a beautiful village next to a creek, Elin and her Grandad are excited to decorate their home together for Christmas. But tinsel and broken lights cling to trees, and wrapping paper and plastic decorations have rolled into gardens and blown away down the hill, and a baby beaver gets trapped in the lights. Once safely rescued, the baby beaver amazes the world in a viral video when it builds a dam . . . out of Christmas decorations! Inspired to keep the beavers' home safe and rubbish-free, Elin's village comes together to clean the broken Christmas decorations away, giving the beaver - and each other - the happiest Christmas ever.Includes facts about beavers and the real events behind the true story!
