This simple, delightful animation for small children is an excellent discussion starter on how the seasons affect our lives. At the first signs of spring, a little creature begins to investigate the other signs of life popping up around him. Summer approaches, and he discovers sunburn and celebration. With fall comes colour change, falling leaves and storms. Then a winter wind blows cold and snow across the land. As the wheel of the seasons turns, the creature and his companion undergo changes, too.

Music and animation blend together in this unique film, thanks to an original score by B.C. composer Karel Roessingh.
