Beaver is anxious to gather sticks to build his dam. He wakes up with a toothache and isn't able to work very hard. But brother beaver is willing to do a good deed. He comes to the rescue and offers to help. That one act of kindness spurs an entire day of good deeds that benefit a variety of animals in the forest-from bear, to snake, to fox, and baby bird. Demonstrating the positive experience of paying it forward, this picture book for children shows that each living being has it's own talents and gifts to help and encourage others.
