Turtle and Newt, best friends and neighbours by the river, were separated when a storm swept Newt away to Toad Pond. The previous book, Sunshower Bathing, shared their joyful summer reunion. This time, the story follows their winter adventures and, as spring nears, Newt returns with an elderly toad once lived in the old swamp. This heartwarming collection of 12 episodes celebrates friendship, the joy of reunions, and the beauty of everyday life, brought to life with charming illustrations.
