The Hymas (pronounced Him-ahs) are magical brothers who change the world into the different seasons using paint and miracle glue. The unique looking Hymas live in a cozy, warm cave down in the ground and don't want or need any "On Top Dwellers" to know they even exist. That all changes one day when Nila, a little girl visiting her grandmother, sees one of the Hymas painting the leaves on the trees the colors of fall. Through the seasons she, and the reader, get to know each Hyma brother. Nila sees the difficulty they have in doing their jobs because they lack one very important thing. When Nila recognizes their need, she does chores for her "good ole' gram" to earn money and then makes a visit to the McCoy and Sons Thrift and General Hardware Store. There Nila buys the Hymas a present that not only makes the brothers happy but fills Nila with joy. Full of fanciful fun, this story teaches the magic of generosity and kindness and the joy found in helping others!
