Sofia Special

Sofia loves to dance, play, and find the fun in every day. But when her school day starts going sideways, Sofia finds it challenging to keep on twirling. With the help of a pretty flower and the guidance of her loving dad, Sofia learns to reframe her "messy mountain of a day" into a sunny and special one that brought a new friend, a chance to be brave, and--best of all--a perfect reason to create a delicious shared moment with someone close to her heart.
