These stories of growth, change, and transformation show that there are no limits to what kids can achieve, and that being yourself is worth celebrating. Two girls learn a lesson after showing up in the same Halloween costume in Two Medusas; the much-loved, Caldecott-winning tale of Mirette is lovingly brought to the screen; and a Chinese American girl dreams of becoming an astronaut in the inspiring One Small Step. Highlighting the strength and determination of young people, these short tales of friendship, individuality, and community are presented in the service of entertaining the young cinephiles in your family with positive messages and strong role models.
