Meet Layla

Layla has worked hard on a science fair project she can’t wait to share. But when things don’t go according to plan, disappointment begins affecting more than just her mood.

Through friendship, family, creativity, and honest conversations, Layla begins discovering something important: feelings give us information, but they don’t have to decide what we do next.
