What if the thing that makes you different is actually your greatest gift?
Meet Axel, an adorable pink axolotl with a big heart and an extraordinary secret.
While exploring the colorful underwater world of coral reefs, Axel discovers something magical...
He can shimmer and glow with beautiful, iridescent light.
Instead of feeling excited, Axel becomes afraid.
What if his friends laugh?
What if they think he's strange?
What if being different means he won't belong anymore?
