A rare winter storm sweeps across the Louisiana bayou-but no one faces it alone.
When icy winds blow where warm breezes usually linger, Gus the alligator knows something isn’t right. With help from Pete the pelican, Claire the crawfish, and Beau the bullfrog, the bayou friends prepare for a storm unlike anything they’ve ever seen.
As the bayou freezes, the friends work together to find shelter, share food, and keep one another warm. Nearby, Cal watches from his window, hoping his bayou buddies are safe. When morning comes, the storm gives way to sparkling beauty-and a joyful reunion.
