The Mountain That Found Its Heart: Where Little Ears go on Big Adventures

Dedicated to the glaciers, streams, and wild places that sustain us all.

Location: Rocky Mountains, USA

High above the clouds, where the air is crisp and the world feels endless, two best friends—Kiko the pika and Miri the marmot—welcome the magic of spring. Their mountain is alive with rushing streams, swaying wildflowers, and the hum of creatures big and small. It has always been their playground, their home.

But this spring feels different. The streams are quieter. The glacier is shrinking. Something is changing.

Determined to understand what’s happening, Kiko and Miri set off on a journey to the mountain’s heart—the great glacier itself. Along the way, they meet a wise eagle, who shares a truth they never expected: the mountain’s strength isn’t just in the ice and rock—it’s in the creatures that call it home.

Now, Kiko and Miri must find a way to bring the mountain back to life. But how can two small friends make a difference in something so vast?

The answer may be closer than they think. And the mountain is listening.
