From Emmy-honored TV animator Donna Kay Lau comes the heartwarming premiere of the Surf Soupchildren's book series! Welcome to Auntie Donna's cartoon studio, where imagination and empathy come to life across 88 fully illustrated, vibrant pages. This captivating story serves as an invaluable tool for Social-Emotional Learning (SEL), highlighting the value of compassion and remaining strong in the face of sudden life changes.
Leilani knows exactly what it feels like to be othered and abruptly pulled away from her home. Having just moved to the island to live with her Auntie for the summer, she discovers her new friends are facing a crisis and are being uprooted from their beach sanctuary, too. But who is uprooting them, and how can she protect them? Refusing to stand by, Leilani launches a creative mission to shield her new family. Through unwavering perseverance and pure grit, she proves that loyalty and a compassionate heart can turn adversity into a powerful superpower.
Perfect for children ages 6-12 navigating big transitions-whether moving schools in the middle of the year, adjusting to military family moves, or living with foster families-Uprooted handles the pain of displacement with a hopeful touch. Join the veteran animator who worked on legendary hits like Dora the Explorer, CatDog, Generator Rex, Oswald, and Regular Show for an enchanting tale of finding value, purpose, and the true meaning of friendship.
Don't just be seen-be significant. Discover the magic and follow the adventure at SurfSoup.tv
