She also meets Bitsy, who is obsessed with arts and crafts, and Anna, a quiet bookworm who does not want to dance at all! At first, it seems like they have nothing in common. But as the big dance recital gets closer, the girls realize that working together is the only way to succeed.
Join these four unique friends as they learn to celebrate their differences and discover that, just like a bag of jellybeans, they are even better when they are together!
