Coat of Many Colors - Based on the book by Dolly Parton
Winter is coming to Tennessee and there's no money to buy a new coat, so a little girl's mama sews one for her out of rags. The little girl wears it to school proudly, and when the other children laugh, she gives them a quick lesson about what it means to be rich. Molly Lou Melons’ grandma gives her the best advice, and it always works-no matter what that bully Ronald Durkin Tries!

The Little Engine that Could - Based on the book by Watty Piper
The classic tale of the determined Little Engine that, despite her size, triumphantly pulls a train full of toys to the waiting children on the other side of a mountain.

Violet the Pilot - Based on the Book by Steve Breen
In this classic underdog story, Violet is a science-loving girl inventor with a flair for the air! By the time she's eight years old she’s building elaborate flying machines from scratch.
