Sharing Everything: Toys, Giggles, Secrets

In an Australian backyard, under a blossom tree, a new friendship is blooming. The children of Bingo, Lila, Chucky and Dougie - Ducky and Snowy - are playing together in their blanket fort. They share their love of fairy princess dolls and toy race cars, knowing they can do anything if they put their mind to it. The garden fills with laughter as a game of tag sets foot - or paw! Snowy and Ducky are best friends for life.
