Once safely rescued, the baby beaver amazes the world in a viral video when it builds a dam . . . out of Christmas decorations! Inspired to keep the beavers’ home safe and rubbish-free, Elin’s village comes together to clean the broken Christmas decorations away, giving the beaver – and each other – the happiest Christmas ever.
