Summary
Penny, a 7-year-old with long light brown hair, and her brother Luca, a 4-year-old with shoulder-length medium dark brown hair, embark on a family walk in the forest amid towering trees and ferns. Penny discovers a light blue mushroom with a glowing cap, prompting her to excitedly call Luca over. Armed with a stick-sword, Luca joins her. Together they touch the mushroom, transforming the forest into a magical realm. They encounter a bear acting like a friendly dog, its fur shimmering with magic. Luca, stick-sword in hand, engages in a joyful game with the bear. The bear helps ground them in the face of real and imagined fears. Night falls, and under the moon and stars, they nap in the bear's fur. Penny and Luca rely on each other for bravery. As they bid farewell to the bear, the forest returns to its familiar state. Reuniting with their parents, pockets filled with acorns, the magical adventure feels like no time has passed.
