A light-hearted allegorical story illustrating that rather than avoiding those who are different from us, we can lose out by not embracing the diversity in our community. In simple terms and using loveable animal characters, it helps children learn to see beyond themselves when deciding whom to play and work with in their daily lives. Each animal in the story, much like children, has a special ability that makes them strong, but also has a weakness. Children will learn to understand the power and benefit of friendships with those who are not like them, because the strength of one becomes the strength of all.
