The story of survival during a flood on the Mississippi River (Map included). A family of mice, a mama and her four babies, follow the flow of the river atop a log without their papa who is currently missing. Mama does everything in her power to keep her family safe from various dangers. They overcome feelings of sadness, loss of their home, near drowning and a cat in addition to the raging flood waters in their journey to safety. How a family works together through adversity is an ongoing theme.
