Meet the Three Friends
Every friend in this story has something that makes them different — and that's exactly what makes them amazing.
Neeko
Big glasses, one leg a little shorter — and a heart big enough for the whole playground.
Max
His wheelchair doesn't slow him down. Max shows everyone that different ways of moving are still moving forward.
Zara
Her wings don't work — so she invents wonderful machines to fly. Imagination lifts her higher than wings ever could.
Written by Eli, age 7
Eli is a 7-year-old author with a big imagination and an even bigger heart. He loves writing stories, making art, dancing, and inventing new things.
Even though Eli faces challenges with his mobility and other things that “make me, me,” he never lets them stop him from sharing his creativity and love with the world.
