Zeke and Ky go treasure hunting on the beach with their Mum. Zeke finds an unusually large and black rock and it reminds of the meteorite that wiped out the dinosaurs. Mum suggests Zeke take it home and keep it under his pillow to help him cope with his nightmares about dinosaurs. Zeke does this, and with the help of his rock, changes the ending of another nightmare.

Despite the rain, Zeke, Ky and their parents go walking in the rainforest. Some passing walkers mention leeches, and the boys run back to the car scared. Later that day Mum talks the boys through the process of dealing with fears: learning about what scares you, deciding whether you still need to be scared, and, planning how to cope with the fear in the future. The next time Zeke and Ky go bushwalking they take their Grandma, and she gets a leech on her toe, which Zeke and Ky handle calmly and skillfully.

Zeke, Ky and their parents go camping but Dad is too late to help Mum pitch the tent. Mum explains to Zeke and Ky that what you think often comes true so it's best to have positive thoughts. Mum demonstrates this by thinking to herself that putting up the tent will be easy, and then it being so. The next day, on an early morning scramble up the rocky banks of a mountain stream, Zeke puts the concept to the test when climbing a large rock.

Zeke and his Mum are cloud watching and talking about breathing when Zeke decides he wants to thank the trees and algae for giving us oxygen. He thanks the tree with a hug, but algae are too small to thank the same way, so Zeke has the idea of fishing rubbish out of the ocean as a way of thanking algae. Mum, Zeke and Ky make some fishing nets and go the tidal creek where Zeke learns that all life in interconnected.

Zeke and Ky are playing dress-ups when Zeke realises he needs a magical wand to complete his outfit. Mum makes Zeke and Ky one out of driftwood and wool and the magic begins. That evening Mum explains to Zeke that real magic is the ability to change your perception of something thus turning a negative into a positive. The next day at school Zeke has a chance to work some real magic without the help of his wand.

On a hot day, Zeke, Ky and their parents make a trip to the beach. Zeke and Ky busy themselves making sandcastles and make friends with a little girl. But Zeke and their new friend disagree about where a lightning rod should go on one of the buildings. When Zeke questions his Mum about it, she explains the theory that if you take an imaginary walk in another person's shoes, you might understand them better. Zeke takes his Mum literally and tests out the theory in the garden.
