This heartfelt adventure follows a young girl named Jane as she tries to navigate the challenge of feeling different in her own skin while experiencing bullying at school. Though she is soft-spoken and quirky on the outside, she struggles on the inside—desperately wanting to belong. Escaping from an uncomfortable moment on the school bus, Jane has a vivid daydream where she enters the Jungle of Individuality: a place filled with animals who all have unique characteristics just like herself. As she embarks on an incredible journey of self-discovery with some new friends, she quickly realizes her individuality is something she should embrace while also learning self-compassion and to be brave when things get tough.

A light-hearted allegorical story illustrating that rather than avoiding those who are different from us, we can lose out by not embracing the diversity in our community. In simple terms and using loveable animal characters, it helps children learn to see beyond themselves when deciding whom to play and work with in their daily lives. Each animal in the story, much like children, has a special ability that makes them strong, but also has a weakness. Children will learn to understand the power and benefit of friendships with those who are not like them, because the strength of one becomes the strength of all
