The Acorn Family – Character Insight

The Acorn Family consists of Mama Acorn, Papa Acorn, and Baby Acorn—a proud family living in an old oak tree in the foothills of Storyland. The defining characteristic of their story is their recurring adventure: they fall from their tree, and due to their short little arms, they’re unable to climb back up. Before help arrives, something happens to them, and then a Storyland Canada character assists them back home.
