Amik and her sister Nishiime are eagerly awaiting their beaver cousins who are coming to visit. Once the cousins arrive however, Nishiime becomes very shy and hides. Where did she go? As the beavers search the forest for Nishiime, they meet other animals that thank the beavers for helping the forest out.

I liked the message of the book, but didn't enjoy reading it. I felt like the text was a bit long and it didn't capture my attention. My five-year-old daughter got a little bored while reading it.
