The little buffalo has everything a young buffalo could wish for: family, friends, green grass, and warm sunshine. Life is good, except for one thing … he’s terrified of storms.
He’s tried hiding – and running away – but nothing helps, so the little buffalo turns to Elder Horn, the oldest and wisest of the buffalo, who has some surprising advice. Don’t run away from the storm … run towards it!
And so, the little buffalo sets off on a BIG adventure: to find his courage and face his fear!
