Description

Leo has had lots of practice at hiding his feelings and controlling his environment with a mask of optimism. But when he is faced with the consequences of his pent up emotions, he has no choice but to name, understand, and respond to his emotions to find safety again. Leo lets go of his instruments of control and commits to trust others with his true self and live with the authenticity of a real MVP Kid.

She helps us realize that diversity in character, family composition, abilities, interests, and backgrounds is the norm not the exception.
