Penny Wright is a preschooler who lives in a multi-generational household. Her life takes a magical turn when she finds a teddy bear in a box of her grandfather's belongings during a game of hide-and-seek with her grandmother, Spicy.
Thanks to a familial poem her grandfather taught her, Penny learns that when your past is just your beginning...your ancestor's gifts can always find you!
