Story Synopsis

In the heart of the Great Swamp, the hum that resonates through the woods, hinting at a deeper connection to nature, has suddenly stopped. Among the vibrant life forms that typically stir in the spring vernal pools, three seemingly insignificant creatures emerge: Mack, the Spring Peeper Frog; Dobs, an Eastern Dobson Fly; and Blu, the rare Blue Spotted Salamander.

Together, the trio embarks to seek the guidance of the four elemental guardians inspired by the Lenapé Creation Story. This transformative journey reminds us of the vital importance of environmental stewardship, and that even the smallest creatures can have an impact on our world’s future.
