True natures are revealed when three dissimilar friends spend a tumultuous summer day together. Boom, a bear cub, likes to move. Twitty, a robin, prefers to stay close to home and create with yarn, while Snot, a small snail, enjoys anticipating what’s going to happen. Cloudy skies and a strong wind suddenly shatter their peaceful morning. As Boom leaps out of a tree to escape the wind, Twitty secures her nest filled with yarn and buttons and Snot “surfs” off on a leaf with a wide-eyed “WHEE!” Boom and Twitty attempt to run or hide from the elements, but tiny, quiet Snot embraces each change and thoroughly enjoys the day. Endearing detailed illustrations show individual stitches in Twitty’s yarn creations, Boom’s fuzzy coat, Snot’s red-bowed antennae and freckles, as well as a few ever-present books. This charming episode affirms that friends with different personalities can enjoy being together while still doing their own things.
三位個性不同的好朋友聚在一起,度過這晴時偶風雨的一天。蹦蹦好奇心旺盛,喜歡到處跑跳;飛飛心細手巧,全世界最喜歡的地方就是自己的窩;阿慢看似溫吞,其實優雅從容,不論晴雨都有自在好心情。他們的互動逗趣又溫馨,時而恬靜、時而喧鬧,經常各做各的又彼此牽掛,即使生活中有各種變化,只要一起度過,就是最好的時光。
