Buster arrives. Benny has a plan.

On Busy Island, everyone has a plan for crossing the river, but nobody is building. When Buster Bear notices quiet Benny Beaver at the water's edge, one board becomes the start of something much bigger.

A story about friendship, belief, and how small actions can turn talk into progress.

One board at a time.
