SYNOPSIS
Rae is like many five year olds with one BIG exception: she has a super-secret superpower. Unlike her limb difference, which is visible for all to see, her superpower is something she has never shown anyone before. But it's her first day of school and her classmates are in need. Will she keep her power to herself...or use it to help her new friends?
