Description

Todos están entusiasmados con la muestra de talentos de la escuela, excepto Henry. Sus amigos suponen que tocará la batería, pero Henry tiene un talento secreto que nunca antes ha compartido. Con la ayuda de su mamá y su pareja, Joy, Henry aprende que a veces debes ser valiente y mostrarle al mundo todas las cosas que amas.

His friends assume he’ll play the drums, but Henry has a secret talent that he’s never shared with them before. With the help of his mom and her partner, Joy, Henry learns that sometimes you must be brave and show the world all the things you love.
