Harper and her best friend
Emma go to the zoo for the first
time. While enjoying all the

beautiful animals they come
across a group of children who
point and stare at Emma who is
flapping her hands in
excitement. Harper is confused
and when she asks why they are
making fun of her friend learns
the children do not under her.

Harper explains Autism and in
doing so makes a new friend
from the group. Harper, their
new friend Jerry and their dads
all decide to jump up and down
and flap their arms as the mean
kids walk away. The new friends
laugh and enjoy the rest of their
adventures at the zoo.
