Synopsis

Two mittens. A pair of friends.

The little red left mitten and the little red right mitten enjoy their life as a pair, keeping Little One’s hands warm and toasty. But one day Little One loses the right mitten―and it’s off on an adventure through the forest! Passed among various woodland creatures, the little right mitten soon becomes tattered―yet it remains cherished, always, by those who find it. Meanwhile, the left mitten can’t help but worry about its old pal, even after a new right mitten is knitted. Will these dear friends ever see each other again?
