A child writes a message on a piece of birchbark. Various animals interact with the note as it becomes a house, a hat, a basket, and more until finally the wind delivers it to its intended recipient: the child's friend. On each page, tidy gouache illustrations show both the creature that last had the note and a hint of who's next, enabling viewers to make predictions.
