Just wait, Q. There's so much to show you at our beach.

Last time we went, I had to carry all my toys by myself.

But not this time.

We can carry everything together.

There's a lot to pack.

Shovels, bucket, and a kite. What else do we need?

Looks like that's everything.

Except Daddy.

How are you feeling, Addie?

Mom and Dad think I should stay home today.

Maybe we could go another time, when you're feeling better.

What? No way.

The beach isn't going anywhere.

We've been planning this trip for days.

I want Coo to enjoy her first time at our beach.

Me too!

I don't like missing out, but it's important that I get better.

Go and have fun, and tell me all about it when you get back.

Well, okay.

But we'll miss you.

exam butterflies, and look for treasure, and splash in the water.

Is something on your mind, Michael?

I was just thinking about Addie. I wish she could be here with us.

There's the water.

What do you think, Hill?

South air and sea breeze.

The warm sand between my toes.

I am happy here.

Come on.

Let's see what we can find in the sand.

Good eyes, Carl.

What is it?

It's Coral.

Addie could tell you more.

She knows everything about Coral.

Oh, you're going to love this, Kale.

Whatever you do, don't let the waves splash you.

Like this.

You should see Addie at this game. The waves never touch her.

Ready?

The water got me, and it feels very refreshing.

Did you see that, Michael?

We beat the waves.

Michael?

Would you like to make one?

That's okay. I don't really feel like it now. I mean, it's really more of a natty

thing.

Perhaps we could try something else.

How about flying a kite?

We'll get ready to throw it.

This way, Q.

Michael. You need to run faster.

We need Addie.

She always gets the kite up when she runs.

Did you want to try flying again?

Sorry, Stillwater.

Today just isn't what we had in mind for coup.

It is certainly different.

And it's not fair we're here having fun while Addie's stuck at home.

But are you having fun?

Not really.

Well, it's fun at first.

But not anymore. The beach is so nice.

I love exploring the shore, but my friends seem sad.

Maybe we should just go home. We can come back another day.

Hmm. This is a problem.

Do we leave the beach and see Addie, or stay at the beach but miss Addie?

Before we decide, will you listen to a story?

Mm-hmm. Sure.

Okay.

In a small desert town, a master builder and his apprentice were building

a house for a young, growing family.

Over the next several days, the workers built a strong foundation for the house

to settle on.

They built thick walls to keep the house cool in the summer and warm in the

winter.

They built a sturdy roof to keep out spring rains and winter snow.

Until at last, the day came when the builders would plaster the walls and

finish the house.

the master had one last thing left to do.

Good friends.

Good rest.

Now we can finish.

Master, be careful. You're covering up your drawings.

Indeed I am.

But why?

Then the family will never see them. True.

But the friendly wishes I gave to the family will always stay with them.

It feels good to know that, whether they ever know it or not.

As he thought about it, the apprentice started to see what his master meant.

May I help you paint, Master?

It's a beautiful house.

Good health.

Good friends.

Good rest.

The builders made all those drawings for the family, even though the

family never saw them.

They did.

How do you think you would feel if you were the one drawing?

I guess I'd feel happy.

I mean, if I cared enough to do something nice, the family may not know

it, but I would.

Can we send friendly wishes to Addie?

Will that make her feel better?

That's hard to say, Carl.

But it might help you feel better about Addie.

I'd like you all to try something with me.

I'd like you all to close your eyes.

Now, let's take a slow, deep breath into our belly, filling it

all the way up. And then we'll breathe out slowly.

Next, I'd like for you to picture Addie in your mind.

I'm imagining Addie playing her guitar.

while I play my show.

I'm picturing Addie here at the beach, making sandcastles.

Addie is at home. She's baking something yummy.

It tastes really good.

I see Addie here, too, splashing in the water and laughing.

Let me ask you, how do your hearts feel right now?

Warm and fuzzy.

Mine, too.

Now, let's take one last... Deep breath in and

out.

I feel better now.

It's like Addie's here with us, even though she's not.

That's because we have Addie in our hearts.

Right, Stillwater?

I think so, Carl.

What will we do now? I don't feel sad anymore.

Will we still go home?

Before we left for the beach, Addie told us to have fun.

So, I think we should.

I found a purple shell.

Look, Michael.

All filled up.

Love, Troy.

You're back.

How are you feeling, Addie?

Did you feel our wishes we sent?

I'm not sure, Carl, but I do feel a little better.

How was the beach?

So much fun.

Look what we got you.

Shells and sea glass.

We missed you today.

So, we brought the beach to you.

We hope you like it. I love it. Thank you all so much.

I can tell you had a good time.

We didn't at first, but it ended up being really great.

Want to hear about it? Tell me everything.

Well, it started off pretty cloudy.

We found the perfect spot.

Good morning, Maya.

Good morning, Addie. Good morning, Stillwater.

Your vegetable garden is looking very healthy.

Thanks. And now it's totally weed-free.

Thanks for helping us get started last month.

And helping us build planter boxes.

And letting us use your garden tools.

And compost.

I'm glad you are enjoying it.

Gardening is one of my favorite things to do.

Our tomatoes and strawberries are almost ripe.

Some will be ready to pick in a day or two.

Wonderful. I look forward to seeing how things have progressed here tomorrow.

We'll be sure to save a tomato just for you.

Bye, Stillwater.

Bye for now, plants.

I have to go home, but I'll be back tomorrow to see how much you've grown.

Goodbye, plants. See you later.

Are you talking to that strawberry?

Why? You know, Carl, plants like when you talk to them.

Really? Okay.

Hey, plants, want to hear about the time I rescued Stillwater from a space

monster? My ginormous robot helped.

So one day when we were exploring the yard, we heard a cry for help.

Morning, Addy. Want some breakfast?

Later. First, I have to see how my garden is doing.

What's wrong, Addy?

There are holes everywhere.

Good morning, everyone.

Uh-oh. How's our garden doing?

Ah!

What happened?

Something put holes in your garden.

Addy, it's ruined!

It's not that bad, Maya. Maybe we can fix it.

Let's just try to stay calm and think.

Come on. Breathe out the butterflies with me.

Two. One.

You're right, Addy.

It's not that bad.

Some critters just dug up a few of our pepper plants.

They didn't even eat the peppers off the plants.

So maybe we can just replant them.

Okay. But we also need to find a way to make sure that pest stays away from our

garden forever.

There.

That should scare whatever did this away.

I hope it's enough shiny ribbons.

Hopefully. If that doesn't scare it off, my monster drawing will.

I think our strawberries are just about ripe.

One more day and we'll have our first harvest.

I'm going to make a delicious strawberry pie.

It might have to be a little hands-by.

There's only about three berries that are almost ready.

Daddy, I found a strawberry.

Carl, did you just pick that strawberry?

It's not ripe yet. We've been waiting weeks for it to get just ripe. I didn't

pick it, I promise.

I found it on the ground like this, with a chomping...

work for nothing.

It'll be okay, Maya. Let's just stay calm and read all the butterflies again.

Not this time, Addie. I have a better idea.

Let's catch that critter in the act and make sure it goes away and never comes

back. How can we do that?

I'm not sure, but I bet Stillwater would know.

Let's go ask him.

We can't just leave the garden. The critter might come back and finish it

off. Don't worry.

Me and Ginormous Robot will guard it.

Our garden will be safe now.

Come on, let's go see Stillwater.

Hi,

Stillwater. Hello.

Have you girls begun harvesting yet?

No, our plants aren't quite ready.

But we have a bigger problem.

Yesterday, some critter dug up our garden.

And today, it not only dug it up, but it chomped on a whole bunch of our almost

ripe fruit.

Oh, dear.

I'm sorry to hear that.

I know how frustrating that can be.

Why don't critters eat your vegetables, Stillwater?

Well, Maya, sometimes they do.

But I am also fortunate to live close to the forest.

The creatures that visit in my yard get most of the food they need from there.

I wish whatever's been visiting Addie's yard would leave and get their food from

there, too.

We tried to scare it away with some shiny cloths we hung up, but that didn't

work. Do you have any ideas, Stillwater?

Hmm. There is one thing to try, and I think it might be best

explained with a story.

A long time ago, in a faraway land...

there stood a magnificent tree.

The tree was the tallest in the forest, and from its top branch, one could

see the entire forest below.

The mighty hawk claimed this high branch as his own, and from his

perch, he would watch over all the creatures of the forest.

Hawk sat on the branch from day to night to day to night.

Until he grew tired and left in order to sleep. But the moment the mighty

hawk left the branch, the noble owl would fly in to claim the branch for

herself. And there she would sit from night to day.

to night to day, watching.

Until she too grew tired and had to leave.

They argued over the branch on and on through day and night.

Until at last they decided they must figure out who the branch belonged to

once and for all.

They agreed to let the wolf, who was very wise, make the choice for them.

Wolf, we need your help.

Please tell us, who owns the tallest branch in the tree?

Hmm.

It seems you both want all and nothing.

All for you and nothing for the other.

Why do you want the tallest branch, Mighty Hawk?

I need it to keep watch over the forest all day.

And why do you want the tallest branch, Noble Owl?

I need it to keep watch over the forest all night.

Then I think you have your answer.

Hmm.

I think we can make this work.

Yes, I think we can.

Now that they understood each other, the answer was simple.

Mighty Hawk would sit on the branch during the day, while Noble Owl slept

soundly in a hollow of the tree.

Noble Owl would sit on the branch at night, while Mighty Hawk rested in his

nest below.

With this arrangement, Both got exactly what they wanted.

And it remains that way to this day.

Both the hawk and the owl thought they owned the tree branch.

But it turns out there was enough room for both of them.

They had to learn to coexist, to live side by side in a shared space where

they both belonged.

So I guess the animal that is eating our veggies does belong in Addie's backyard,

but does it need to eat our fruits and vegetables?

Maybe not your fruits and vegetables, but she does need to eat.

There must be some way for the critter and us to coexist, to live together

without our garden getting destroyed.

Maybe instead of trying to scare it away from our garden, we could build it its

own garden?

That is a great idea, Maya.

Let's do it.

All done.

I believe we finished just in time.

You have a visitor.

And it looks like she's brought her family.

It's so cute!

Our mystery nibbler was a sweet mama ground squirrel.

I think he really loves the garden we made for her.

And her babies love it too!

I'm glad we found a way to all share this together.

With dark spirits, we were floating through the trees.

Like creatures, we were soaring high, blowing off some steam.

Over a mountain and a set of vast and green, never-ending dreams.
