What is a twig? They’re tiny stick – like creatures no taller than a blade of grass. Where do they live? They live in the knotholes of trees. What’s that you ask? Are they brave? They sure are! Especially, one young twig named Leaf of the Old Seeder twigs.

When the glacier melts, a flood destroys Leafs old forest home. It knocks down Old Seeder, trapping Pappo, Mummo, and Leaf’s brothers and sister inside their knothole. It’s up to Leaf to rescue them. Along with his adventurous friend, Rustle, Leaf journeys far and wide to find Slapper the Beaver. He knows how to help Leaf’s family. But will Slapper agree to help?

I loved Leaf and The Rushing Waters. It’s a perfect book that shows young readers how climate changes affect the nature around us. In my humble opinion this would make a great animated family movie!
