Finding the courage to be true to yourself at the risk of standing out instead of fitting in to escape notice is an important issue for young children. Memorable characters such as Pout-Pout Fish and Itty Bitty Betty Blob join a friendly whale named Moby and a child who finds grandness in small things.
