If we were all the same and liked the same things,
​this world would be very boring!

​Lala the Lizard feels insecure about revealing to her family that she does not eat insects and her best friend is a spider. After the two friends journey away from the Pond by The Rock, Lala, and Ari discover that our differences make us special and that it’s important to be surrounded by those who accept us the way we are.
Story messages:
Diversity, tolerance, respect, identity,
empathy, family, environment, responsibility, team work and friendship.
